∙ 11y agoplants drown because their roots have mitochrondia (in them which supply the plant with energy to survive) that need air which they take from the air spaces in the soil. If there are no air spaces the plant cannot obtain oxygen and they 'drown'.

While the roots of a plant take up water, they also need air to breathe. Overwatering, in simple terms, drowns your plant. ... If there is too much water or the soil is constantly wet, there are not enough air pockets. This results in a limited oxygen supply and plants are not able to breathe.
