How is plasmolysis related to turgor pressure in plant cells?

Turgor pressure is the pressure applied by the excess cell sap on the cell wall.
Explanation:
Plasmolysis is the phenomenon of exosmosis of cell sap. It means that the cell sap escapes the protoplast and causes shrinkage of the cell. This happens whenever water moves out of the cell.
This causes the turgor pressure to be reduced in the cell as it becomes flaccid.
