The spaces allow oxygen to reach organisms (such as bacteria and earthworms) living in the soil. It supports aerobic operations, and inhibits anaerobic operations such as fermentation and mold growth. It also allows water (and dissolved nutrients) to flow down to root layers, rather than forming stagnant puddles or runoff.

Why is soil permeability important?
Soil permeability is important to plants that lives on land. The space between soil particles are called pore spaces. Water and air filled these spaces. The size of pore spaces and the way in which the pore spaces are connected affect permeability. Because, permeability is the rate which water can pass through a porous material. Soils through which water passes quickly have a high permeability.
What does a plant get from the empty space in the soil?
a plant will get air from the empty space in the soil
Does sandy soil or clay soil have bigger pore spaces?
Sandy soil.
What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
What is soil moisture?
Soil water is water derived from the runoff of soil. You probably meant to ask what is salt water. (Water that has salt in it - seawater, water from the ocean). Most soil is porous with narrow spaces between the small particles. These spaces act as capillaries and in part govern the motion of water through the soil. When water enters soil, it penetrates the spaces between the small particles and adheres to them.

sandy soil and clayey soil, which is more porous and why?
I would say Sandy soil because the little pieces of sand can fill in the empty spaces that the bigger pieces of sand can't fill. Hope that helps.
