Basically, when a land-based plant is water-logged, the roots begin to rot, thus killing the plant. The root system of a plant is just like a "brain" and without it functioning the plant simply can't survive. Some plants need to be in a "well-drained" position. This is because there are some plants which rot quickly and they need to be drier around the root system.
