Hypotonic solutions have more water than a cell. Tapwater and pure water are hypotonic. A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst. This is why putting water on a bloodstained piece of clothing makes the stain worse.

Cell will gain water and burst if it gains more than enough
This happens because of osmosis (movement of water from low to high percentage of water)
