The cytosol or cytoplasmic matrix is the liquid found inside cells.

Explanation:

It constitutes most of the intercellular fluid and is the liquid matrix surrounding the organelles. It is a complex mixture of substances dissolved in water. The cytosol also contains large amounts of macromolecules, which can alter how molecules behave through macromolecular crowding.

The cytosol is the site of most metabolism in the cell.
