about how do soil and water compare in their ability to absorb and release heat
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
because sandy soil can absorb water only at a limit
The roots of plants is what which helps the plants to absorb water and other nutrients from soil.
the sun
Water tends to sink quickly through gravelly soil (classed as quick draining), though not as quickly as through a sandy soil. Any soil between the gravel will absorb and retain some of the water.

it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
I assume that water and soil are separate, rather than a wet soil? The temperature of the dark soil would heat up faster than the water - as dark colours absorb heat.
Its likely known that almost all plants absorb water from the soil

Mosses and liverworts absorb water from the soil through the process of osmosis.
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
Just soil
Water is important for soil so that the soil can be health and grow plants!
yes it does
