Explain how a plant can cause a rock to weather?

Plants can cause rocks to weather through a process called biological weathering. As roots grow, they can infiltrate cracks and crevices in the rock, exerting pressure and eventually breaking the rock apart. Additionally, plant roots can produce organic acids that chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to further decomposition. Over time, these processes contribute to the gradual breakdown of the rock into smaller particles.
