Why is soil porosity influence to plant growth and development?
A sandy soil is quick draining, but may be poor in nutrients. A clay soil is poor draining, and may be waterlogged for long periods. Though clay soils may be richer than sandy soils in nutrients, having waterlogged roots may rot off a plant's roots. A well draining, nutrient rich, loamy soil will hold water, yet drain enough to avoid root rot, so allowing the plants to thrive.
Does gravel soil absorb water?

A saguaro would probably quickly get root rot and die as the soil in Florida is much too moist for a saguaro to remain healthy. They need a fast draining soil that does not remain wet for long after a rain.
