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.

Question

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.
