Why do tomato plants die in freezing temperatures?

Question

Why can other plants survive and tomatoes can't?

my tomato plant just shriveled up when it froze and I was just wondering

Answer 1

I think it's because tomato plants are particularly juicy. Their parts contain a lot of water. Water expands when it freezes. So the cells of tomato plants expand and break. The next morning the whole plant is a pile of mushy mess.
