loam
Permeability is the name given to this characteristic. Maybe preceded with 'Water' if appropriate.
Sand is small particles of solid rock, that don't have the ability to absorb moisture. The water runs right through it.
Pretty much anything (any soil) that is rough and irregular and large enough in particle size that water drains through it easily....
Water can easily move through sandy soils, wheras clay-rich soil is much harder for water to penetrate, so sandy soils are drier.
loam
Infiltration
sand is important to soil that has drainage problems or in other words, if water does not move down through the soil easy, sand can help to improve drainage of water penetration down through the soil. When this can happen plant roots can more easily get soil oxygen and nutrients
Water will drain through sandy soil the fastest. Sandy soil is easy to work, but benefits from large amounts of water retaining manures and humus.A loamy soil will retain water, but allow air spaces between the grains.The worst draining soil is clay, usually needing drainage, and is heavy to work.

Water underground trickles down between particles of soil a through cracks and spaces in layers of rock.
well, i think that the plants leaves are the ones that absorb all the water and lets it go through the stem, and, that when the plant grows that is because the plant had the water to reach the top. that s my answer on how plants absorb water from the soil and reaches the top.well, i think that the plants leaves are the ones that absorb all the water and lets it go through the stem, and, that when the plant grows that is because the plant had the water to reach the top. that s my answer on how plants absorb water from the soil and reaches the top.i think its from the rootsWater comes from the soil. The roots absorb the water and the water travels through the xylem of a tree to reach the leaves of a tree. The way water keeps going through the xylem and the tree is because water at the leaves is evaporated and more water from the roots goes through the xylem. The water at the bottom of the roots "pushes" the water up and the evaporating of water at the trees is "pulling" the water up
