If the sugar that a plant makes is already a monosaccharide, why does it need water to perform hydrolysis?

I'm not sure which occasion of hydrolysis you mean...

Ultimately once a plant makes a monosaccharide, that then has to be hydrolyzed to pyruvate then handed over to the mitochondria to produce the ATP the cell needs.
