What term is used to describe the failure of a plant cell to properly maintain turgor pressure?

The term used to describe the failure of a plant cell to properly maintain turgor pressure is "plasmolysed." This condition occurs when a plant cell loses water due to osmosis, leading to a decrease in turgor pressure. When a cell is plasmolyzed, the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall, which is a direct result of the water moving out of the cell and into a surrounding solution that has a higher solute concentration. This can happen when a plant is exposed to hypertonic solutions, causing it to lose its rigidity.

In contrast, while "flaccid" describes a similar loss of turgor pressure, it indicates a less severe state where the cell does not reach the degree of plasmolysis. "Dehydrated" generally refers to a lack of water in the entire plant system rather than specifically at the cellular level affecting turgor. "Osmotic" is related to the movement of water through semipermeable membranes but does not directly describe a state of a plant cell in relation to turgor pressure.
