Of course. Plants should be watered just enough to wet their soil. If the plant has a puddle of water on top of the surface you have watered too much. You, also, should water plants either earlier in the morning or late at night. Especially if the plants are outside. This is to ensure that water isn't wasted. If you water in the middle of the day when it is hot, most of your water wont make it down to the roots.

None! It all depends on the type of plant. If it is a water plant , like a lilly-pad , as long as the leaves get sunlight, are out of the water and there are nutrients in the water for the roots to absorb , it won't die , but if the whole plant is under water , it can actually start to rot.

It will, just like us! If we don't meet the sunshine we would look ugly! But, they will die!

Too much water kills a plant because the water just sitting around the plant will grow bacteria. The bacteria will eventually kill the plant.
