。.Explanation :

● When touched, this sensitive leaf reacts to stimulus as there is a higher pressure at that point and the water in the vacuoles of the cells of the leaf lose water to the adjacent cell.

● All the water escapes the leaf (via the pulvinus) which then becomes flaccid. This causes the leaves to close.

Mimosa pudics leaves are very sensitive. If we think where exactly the plant is touched and what part of the plant actually moves, it is apparent that movement happens at a point different from the point of touch. So, information that a touch has occured is communicated and as a result they drop down.
