You puy a seed on a rock
Plant action refers to the various processes and activities that plants carry out, such as photosynthesis, respiration, growth, and reproduction. These actions are essential for plants to survive and thrive in their environment.
The ice expands in the crack and may split the rock, as will eventually the roots of a plant.
If a plant has roots that are inside cracks inside a rock, the roots can force deeper into the rock as the roots and the plant continue to grow, splitting the rock apart over time. This can happen when trees grow near pavements (cracks in the tarmac).
there is no soil in the rock, so the plant would wither and die
Plant roots break rock through a process called mechanical weathering. As the roots grow, they penetrate small crevices in the rock and expand, exerting pressure that can cause the rock to crack and break apart. Over time, this process helps to break down the rock into smaller fragments, contributing to soil formation.
a vascular plant wouldn't grow on a rock because it has roots and stems
You know how the soil grows plants like in the rock but if there is no soil then the plant won't grow in the rock.
Depends on the plant but most, not all grow better in soil because of the richness. Plants can grow next to rocks but some in rocks.
Mainly phosphates from rock. Potash for potassium, and nitrates can come from organic matter.
to anchor itself and to access the minerals and water in the soil
moss can grow on a rock

Root wedging is when a plant acts as an agent of mechanical weathering. As the roots grow, they secrete this weakly acidic substance that slowly dissolves the rock around it, giving the plant's roots space to expand and grow.
If a plant has roots that are inside cracks inside a rock, the roots can force deeper into the rock as the roots and the plant continue to grow, splitting the rock apart over time. This can happen when trees grow near pavements (cracks in the tarmac).
Plants can break down large rocks into smaller pieces through a process called physical weathering. Plant roots can grow into cracks in rocks and expand as the plant grows, exerting pressure and causing the rock to break apart. This can help to create soil for the plant to grow in.
