one of the most important task in agriculture is to turn the soil and loosen it. the loose soil allows the roots to breathe easily even when they go deep into the soil
Turning and loosening the soil helps to improve aeration, drainage, and root penetration. It also helps to break up compacted soil, allow nutrients to reach plant roots more easily, and promote healthy microbial activity in the soil.
Plants breathe in the soil with the help of their roots . Some plants such as mangroves grow in muddy soil which does not contain much oxygen. To get some air, some mangroves give out special roots called breathing roots. Breathing roots are lined with special cells ( called lentils ) that absorb air. But , plants usually do not breathe through their roots ( mostly through leaves ) . Mostly soil particles can go through roots but I don't know how.
No, soil does not require the air we breathe. Soil needs air (oxygen) to support the respiration of soil organisms and roots, which is different from the air we breathe. The exchange of gases in soil occurs through pore spaces and is essential for plant growth and nutrient cycling.
Turning and loosening the soil before sowing seeds helps to aerate the soil, improve water infiltration and drainage, and create a loose, friable texture for seeds to germinate and roots to establish easily. It also helps to break up compacted soil, release nutrients, and promote overall soil health.
this is so because air spaces in soil allow water to reach the plant's roots faster and air to circulate through out the plant. Also the airspaces allow the plant roots to grow deep within the earth's surface.

Banyan tree has hanging roots. They help the tree to breathe easily.
Their roots breathe the air like other mangroves
Yes because of there roots
roots can breathe through air spaces between the soil particals
Roots have a big surface area and thin walls, which allow water to pass into them easily and the roots are very long they go down and down under the soil to find water.
Spiro=breathe in=in, into Both Latin roots.
The aerial roots of a banyan tree help it to breathe by absorbing oxygen from the air. These roots also facilitate gas exchange and help in the tree's respiration process.
They clean the air so that we can breathe fresh air.
Roots absorb oxygen through tiny openings called root hairs that are found on their surface. These root hairs facilitate the exchange of gases between the plant and the soil, allowing roots to "breathe" by taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This process is crucial for the plant's respiration and overall functioning.

Pneumatophores are specialized aerial roots found in some plants, particularly mangroves, that function to facilitate gas exchange. These roots protrude above the water or soil surface to absorb oxygen from the air, as the oxygen content in waterlogged soils is limited. This adaptation helps the plant survive in oxygen-deficient environments.
