Humans can do a lot for plants; we water them, we weed (that is, remove competing plants), we fertilize, and in some cases (e.g., the date palm) we pollinate them as well.

What is the ability of a matirial to hold liquid in to a certain extain?
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
How do plants control erosion from water runoff?
Plants help to check soil erosion considerably. During flood or excessive rain, the soil gets washed away by the flow of water. However, deep rooted plants help the soil not get washed away by the water pressure, thereby slowing down the process of soil erosion. Therefore, planting of deep rooted trees are advisable along the river shore.
