the process is called osmosis. Since the raisins have less amount of water inside it and more of the salt therfore in order to achieve equilibrium the water moves inside the raisin and the salt in the water

i dont have asked about salt ... asking for plain water
Plzz tell
plzz tell
yeah
plz tell for plain water
it is due to the process called osmosis. the raisin is made up of tiny living units called cells. Each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. it keeps the cell parts inside and keep other things outside thus protecting the cell while this membrane stops most things water can pass through it
and now if the sugar solution that is present in the raisin is in higher concentration than the lain water then it will.move from higher concentration to the lower concentration
and similarly if the water content is less in the raisin than the outside then the water will move inside the cell to maintain the equilibrium
hence the water enters the raisin and because the water enters the raisin swell up
