Summary Introduction

To review:

The dependency of a plant on the composition of soil to take up water.

Introduction:

Different types of soils have different capacities to absorb water and make it available to the plant. Water is a major component for the plant growth. Water takes up all the minerals and components required by the plant. Gravity pulls up the underground water through the particles of soil from the deep soil layers.
