Less chance for root rot & more consistent feeding.
Hydroponics is a branch of agriculture where plants are grown without soil. A hydroponic system will grow plants in water that has been supplemented with nutrients usually found in soil.
Nope. Plants can be grown without soil. It is done in hydroponics, and orchids do not grow in soil.

Beans grow better in soil because soil has all the moisture and nutrients. If you use sand, it could be to rocky. Clay will also not be good even though it can keep good moisture it does not have the nutrients like soil.
Plants generally grow better in soil compared to water, as soil provides essential nutrients, support, and stability for root growth. While some plants can be grown in water (hydroponics), most plants thrive in soil due to the balance of nutrients and oxygen it can provide.
Some plants can be raised in water. It's called hydroponics.
soil as there are more nutrients
Hydroponics works about 20-30% better than plants soil growing with less problems. Plants grown in water are less likely to have pest problems.
plants grow better in soil because all the nutrients that are needed for it to grow are in the soil
Plants can be grown by a system called hydroponics, where they are grown in a nutrient rich liquid (ie water with fertilizer added); instead of soil.
soil
Hydroponics substitute a nutrient medium in place of soil. for the plants to root and grow. The nutrient medium may be either a water solution or an inert material.
