Explanation:

Wilting means plant roots are unable to supply as much water as the leaves need to function at full capacity. Although leaves frequently appear damp or dewy from transpiration, they discharge water much better than they absorb it, so that plants depend primarily on soil water. On a hot day, the roots may not have adequate water reserves for leaves to draw on.

When temperatures climb, it used to be said that men sweated but ladies wilted. Plants frequently wilt in hot weather, allowing both leaves and flowers to droop, sometimes to an alarming degree. Wilting occurs when the pace at which plant leaves dispel moisture into the air, in a process called transpiration, outpaces the ability of plant roots to supply enough water. Like human perspiration, plant transpiration is in part a self-protective mechanism plants use to survive excessive heat.

Answer:

wilting is the process in which the water loss from the leaves makes the leaves brown which is a kind of dead tissue ...

So in winter the atmosphere and the soil has moisture and the leaves does not do much transpiration which does not lead much water loss through the stomata of the plant.. so in winter wilting does not occur

Where as in summer the atmosphere and the soil lacks moisture and the water absorbed by the roots are loss in the transpiration by the leaves and the roots are not able to absorb more water from the soil so.. the leaves does not get the water by which the chlorophyll of leaves destroys and the leaf turn brown so as called wilting..

Hope u will appreciate my efforts.. Please mark it as brainliest...
