Good morning! Have a nice day ahead, kindly answer this please. Thank you :))
![Granular soil structure is common in the B horizon that prevents
infiltration of water down to the ground water table.
_Metamorphic rock is either a modified igneous or sedimentary rock that
is subjected to prolonged and strong pressure and low temperature.
_The higher the particle density of the soil the lighter the soil per volume.
The lower the bulk density of the soil the more the soil is compacted.
The higher the porosity of the soil the better is the water holding
capacity of it.
_The presence of salt in the soil can't deter plant's absorption of water
through osmosis.
_The unavailable water includes the hygroscopic water and all capillary
water which is removed very fast by plants in order to survive for a bit longer of time.
Soil supports the growth of higher plants, mainly by providing a medium
for plant roots and supplying essential and non-essential elements.
Soil structure is a permanent property of a soil.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ffbfd63c7-9fb7-4922-a91d-0ebe7f8a4538%2Fb16c92a1-89e0-49c6-9224-9029752038e7%2Fnfe1ujh_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
