water
A word to describe light colored soil could be leached if you're a gardener.
Plants absrb water through their roots which are in soil; so there must be water under the soil for the plants to survive.
Hard-pan clay soil percolates (drains) water the slowest.
The soil is non absorbing. In other words, the water from rain, etc. pools on the soil instead of soaking in.
underground water soaking into rock and soil
transpiration (its what i got)
This is porosity. You might also say that the soil is free-draining.

to test soil in its worst state
Even if a plant does well in relatively dry soil, seed needs a certain amount of water to sprout. The soil doesn't have to be soaking wet (in fact that's bad for seed), but it has to have easily available moisture.
Some words that describe dirt or soil are: earthy, gritty, fertile, and muddy.
briefly describe how water and nutrients gets from the soil to the top of a 300-foot redwood tree.
The soil is at "field capacity". In other words the capillary spaces are already full of water to the surface, hence no more water can be absorbed.
Soil is described as a mixture due to the various components that it has. The main components are air, water and gravel among others.
Tulips need soil that drains well - you don't want them soaking in water and turning to mush. Dig down a foot or more to make sure they won't be trapped in any clay soil which will retain water and destroy the bulbs. If there is a lot of clay in the soil, remove it from the enlarged planting hole and replace it with store-bought top soil (it's inexpensive).
