Is there a specific term for the 'gaps' (in a simple diagram whereby the gaps are between the plasma membrane and the cell wall)

Well, there is no term that I know of which refers to the gaps when a cell is plasmolized! Well, these gaps are temporary and occur with the rapid change of ion concentration inside and outside of the cell! So, These gaps are known as GAPS!

Plasmolysis occurs when a plant cells membrane shrinks away from its cell wall. This phenomenon occurs when water is drawn out of the cell an into the extracellular (outside cell) fluid. The movement of water occurs across the membrane moving from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration outside the cell.
(B) Plant cells where the water flow into the cell and out of the cell are in equilibrium are not capable of providing the cell with support. Flaccid is a term used to indicate that the cell, although it contains water, does not have enough internal turgor pressure to provide structural support.

(C) As mentioned earlier, turgor pressure is the buildup of water within the plant cell. Because of the rigidity of the cell wall, the cell does not rupture, but instead the internal pressure increases. This increased internal pressure gives the plant cells structure that can support the plant.
