All citrus fruits (Oranges, limes, lemons) have a chemical known as carboxylic acid, thus making it acidic. And alkalynity is the term most commonly used to describle bases.
lime is used on soil to neutralise its pH level form acidic so yes lime is basic.
Many plants do not do as well in acidic soil. The lime makes the soil less acidic, or even basic.
A lime itself contains citric acid, so it is acidic. Base is actually the opposite of acid. Ca(OH)2 is sometimes referred to as lime, and this is basic (the opposite of acid)
quick lime or slaked lime is added to acidic soil
Limewater as referring to the juice extract of lime fruit ,which is a citrus fruit, is composed of acetic acid. However milk of lime refers to a solution of calcium hydroxide which is alkaline.

lime juice and soap solutions turn red in turmeric because turmeric is an organic indicator which turns red in acidic or basic solution and lime juice is an acidic solution while soap is a basic solution

quick lime or slaked lime is added to acidic soil
The farmers put lime water on acidic soil.
Lime juice is fairly acidic.
Limewater as referring to the juice extract of lime fruit ,which is a citrus fruit, is composed of acetic acid. However milk of lime refers to a solution of calcium hydroxide which is alkaline.
Lime, calcium carbonate, is alkaline.
Calcium Hydroxide (or Slaked Lime) is a strong base (as are all metal hydroxides, oxides, and carbonates) A Base is a substance with a pH of 8 or more. When an acid and a base react, the result is that a salt and water is formed. This also has the effect of neutralising a substance (giving it a pH of 7 or closer to 7) So slaked lime is added in order to reduce the acidity of the soil
due to the acidic action of lime
