Explanation:
Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. The reverse process, deplasmolysis or cytolysis, can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution resulting in a lower external osmotic pressure and a net flow of water into the cell.

Plasmolysis is a reversible phenomenon. When the plasmolysed cell is placed in water, which is hypotonic compared to cell sap, the cell gains water due to endosmosis. As a result the cell membrane, cytoplasm and vacuole regain their normal position. This phenomenon is called deplasmolysis.
