Solution:

The swelling up of a plasmolysed protoplast under the influence of hypotonic solution or water is called deplasmolysis. It is due to endosmosis. Deplasmolysis is possible only immediately after plasmolysis otherwise the cell protoplast becomes permanently damaged. During deplasmolysis water diffuses into protoplast.
