Answer :
This is facilitated by osmosis. When the leaf is placed in water ,the guard cells draw water by osmosis into their cytoplasm making the cells turgid.
This keeps the stomata open and also the leaf remains alive for a longer time.
This is the reason why we put leaf peel in water .

Explanation:
All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of cells by diffusion and active transport. Cells can gain or lose water by osmosis.
