Hey friend.....
Here is your answer....


⏺We we keep the tomato in a highly concentrated salt solution then the water present inside the tomato gets out of the tomato.

⏺This phenonmoenon is known as exosmosis.



⏺The cell wall is dead and also protective thus helping the separation of external medium and internal medium.


Hope it helps....
