as far as i am aware hydroponic gardens are used because there is a lower rate of desease on plants, most deseases come from the soil. hydroponics eliminates this. they are also used in parts of the world where normal farming is not possible due to its quick turn-around time and relatively low water consumption. a typical crop can use 75% less water (less evaporation) and take up half the footprint. sees how the roots are not growing as big to find nutrients more energy is used to grow the actual plant.

Can Hydroponics plants live in the sun?

Hydroponics is not a method for classifying plants, rather it's a method for growing plants. Although you could absolutely use a hydroponic system outdoors (I have seen it done), most people tend to use the hydroponic method indoors. Just to clarify, Hydroponics is the method for growing plants without conventional soil. Most hydroponics systems involve the use of a "medium" which acts as a substitute for soil, and the roots hang in nutrient enriched water. The fundamental difference between hydroponics and soil is this: Non-hydroponic systems generally use the soil as the source for roots to obtain nutrients (ie nitrogen phosphorous, etc) while Hydroponic systems use water as the source for nutrients, and the medium has little or no nutritional value.
