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.

What is the best soil type on plant growth?

This depends entirely on the type of plant. Plants are specially adapted to cope with the soil conditions in their natural habitat, and some do not do well outside of this habitat. For this reason, some plants prefer wet, heavy soils, when others like dry light soils. Many plants also have a preferred acidity level. Most plants used in gardens today are very adaptable, though most prefer well drained soil that is rich in nutrients.
