because plant cells get less salt and more water because of rain so the more water in a cell makes it bigger so it eventually explodes

Plant cells have cell wall as outer covering besides the cell membrane. this cell wall is more rigid to expand in comparison to cell membrane. The animal cells due to absence of cell wall get easly streched hence they do not explod and the plant cell explode due to the rigid cell wall.

Some plants, like the hairy-fruited stork's bill, have seed pods that build up internal pressure as they mature. When the pods are ripe, they explode, ejecting seeds away from the parent plant to increase the chances of successful dispersal. This mechanism helps the plant spread its seeds over a wider area to find suitable conditions for germination and growth.

no water will travel into it down the concentration gradient and across the semi permeable membrane into the cell where it pushes the cell wall out making it turgid
