Soil has many inorganic and organic materials that can be used by the plants for their normal functioning. Soil also helps in hardening the root area so as to facilitate proper adhering of the plant to the ground.

On the other hand, water has lesser amount of nutrients in it. Plants thus get less nutrition and do not grow well. But plants can be made to grow well in liquid solutions containing proper ratio of nutrients. This process of growing healthy plants on a liquid media without the soil is called hydroponic cultivation.
