Final answer:

Cell elongation in plants is driven by the influx of water producing turgor pressure, stiffening the cell walls and causing expansion.


Explanation:

Cell elongation in plants is facilitated by the influx of water, which produces turgor pressure, stiffening the cell walls and causing expansion. The osmotic gradient created by the movement of protons out of the cells leads to water entering the cell, resulting in growth. Growing cells have 'softer' cell walls that yield at lower pressures, allowing for expansion until the cell wall 'hardens'.
