Before we explain plasmolysis, let's talk a little about plant cell anatomy. Plant cells have a thick outer wall called a cell wall. The cell wall prevents the plants from losing their shape, and holds them upright. Beneath the cell wall is the plasma membrane, which holds the goop inside the cell in. The goop inside the cell is called the cytoplasm. Here, important parts of the cell work together to keep the plant alive. The vacuole, located inside the cytoplasm, holds the water in a plant cell, like a water tower.
During plasmolysis, plants don't get enough water. The cytoplasm and plasma membrane shrivel up and pull away from the cell wall. This causes the whole plant to wilt.

Plasmolysis is the contraction of cytoplasm from the cell wall and it is caused due to withdrawl of water when placed in strong solution. Its result is that it causes the shrinkage of the cell the cell become flaccid.
