Why do plants depend on soil?

1). Plants use the soil for anchorage 2). The soil particles act to trap water between them allowing the plant to draw water from it 3). Depending on the coarseness of the soil particles the soil is able to contain air pockets in it allowing for the uptake of Oxygen into the plant 4). The nature of the soil allows nutrients and minerals to be attached to them, enabling the plant access to a ready store of nutrient "food" 5). To help them grow the minerals and nutrients help it grow instead of helping it die.


Why does soil need water?

Additionally, water helps regulate temperature and supports the organisms living in the soil ecosystem.


What force allows roots to grow in the soil?

Roots grow in soil due to a combination of factors such as geotropism (response to gravity), thigmotropism (response to touch), and chemotropism (response to chemicals). These forces help roots navigate through the soil, find nutrients, water, and anchorage, and ultimately support plant growth.
