Why do humans need soil?

Humans need soil for various reasons, including agriculture for growing food, providing essential nutrients for plants, supporting ecosystems, filtering water, and preserving archaeological records. Soil also plays a crucial role in carbon sequestration and regulating the Earth's climate.


How do you explain to a 5 year old child about plants need soil?

Plants need soil to grow because soil provides nutrients, water, and support for their roots. Just like how we need food to grow healthy and strong, plants need soil to stay healthy and grow big and tall. Soil is like a cozy home for plants, where they can get everything they need to live and thrive.


Why does soil need sunlight?

Soil does not require sunlight itself, but the plants growing in the soil do. Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy for growth and development. Without sunlight, plants cannot produce the energy needed to survive, affecting the health and fertility of the soil.


Does plant grow better in soil or water?

Plants generally grow better in soil compared to water, as soil provides essential nutrients, support, and stability for root growth. While some plants can be grown in water (hydroponics), most plants thrive in soil due to the balance of nutrients and oxygen it can provide.


Why do plants need good soil to grow?

Plants need good soil to grow because it provides essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, that plants need for their growth and development. Good soil also provides a stable anchorage for the plant's roots and holds water that the plant can absorb. Additionally, soil with the right balance of texture, structure, and pH level promotes healthy root growth and overall plant health.
