can select more than one answer
Group of answer choices

Phloem
Mosses don't have vascular tissues
Xylem
Why is clay a challenging soil for plants to grow into?
Group of answer choices
The field capacity point is really low, causing water to seep through the soil quickly
Both the wilting point and field capacity are really low, causing the soil to be immediately oversaturated
The distance between field capacity and wilting point is extremely small, which makes the plants highly susceptible to changes in precipitation
It has a high wilting point, a lot of rain has to fall before plants can access the water
