What two things does a plant get from the soil?

Answer 1

Water is pulled from the soil into the plant roots via evaporation of water occurring in the leaf veins. The water and solutes in the water stick together, so where the water goes, the solutes will follow. The pressure from the evaporation pulls the water from the soil into the root hairs, into the xylem of the roots, into the xylem of the stem, into the xylem of the branches, into the xylem of the leaf veins, and out of the stomata. The plant uses only the water it needs, and pulls the solutes from the water.

Answer 2

Plants get nutrients and water from the soil to support their growth and health. Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for plant development, while water is crucial for various biochemical processes and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells.

Answer 3

Plants can only absorb soluble minerals (those that can dissolve in water). They absorb minerals dissolved in solution from the soil through their root hair cells
Minerals cannot be absorbed by osmosis because this is the movement of water only
The root hair cells have carrier molecules on their cell membranes

Answer 4

Plant roots absorb minerals and water from the soil.

Answer 5

Water and minerals.

Answer 6

I think it is the water and the roots.....!! :)

Answer 7

Plants obtain nutrients, mostly nitrogen, from the soil. Soil also is a great source of water, which collects in it after rainfall/watering, hence plants' roots.

Answer 8

actually 3 things:

nutrients, minerals, and water! (:

Answer 9

Water and food, moisture and nutrients.

Answer 10

Nutrients
