Yes.
Explanation:
Water diffuses in to the plant cell through osmosis and makes the plant cell turgid. This happens when the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.
NOTE: Turgid means that the cell becomes swollen (or filled with water).
Here is a video which discusses osmosis observed in red onion cells.
