because because plants compete for it
Migration of water and nutrients is quicker.
pore space is important because animals and plants need it
Normally free floating particles and gases such as oxygen, nitrogen etc.
Sand doesn't have micro pore space, but only macro pore space.
The percentage of pore space in soil or rock can vary significantly depending on the composition and porosity of the material. In general, soil may have a pore space ranging from 25% to 60%, while rocks typically have much lower pore space, often less than 10%.
pore space
Sand has more pore space compared to rock. This is because sand particles are smaller and have less surface area than rock particles, allowing for greater pore space between the grains.
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
Pore space is the volume of open space between soil particles where air and water can infiltrate and be stored. It affects soil properties by influencing water infiltration, retention, drainage, and aeration, as well as providing habitat for soil organisms and roots. Soil with more pore space typically has better fertility, structure, and drainage properties compared to compacted soils with limited pore space.
The spaces between rocks and soil are called pore spaces or interstitial spaces. These spaces are important for water infiltration, aeration, and root penetration in the soil.

Pouring Clorox on a plant can harm or kill the plant since it is a harsh chemical that can damage plant cells and disrupt their normal functions. It is not recommended to use Clorox or any other household cleaning products on plants.
