Turgor pressure is the water pressure inside plant cells. This is maintained by osmosis, which is the movement of water across a different permeable membrane from a place where water concentration is higher to one where the concentration is lower.

Turgor pressure is important because it is what helps a plant stand upright and maintain the plant's structure.
