How do nutrients travel from the soil to the plant?

Nutrients travel from the soil to the plant through a process called absorption. Plant roots take in water and nutrients from the soil through their root hairs. This allows the plant to receive essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for growth and development.


Where does grass get nutrients?

Grass obtains nutrients primarily from the soil, where it absorbs essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium through its roots. These nutrients are vital for growth and development. Additionally, grass can benefit from organic matter, such as decomposing plant material and microorganisms, which enhance soil fertility. Rain and irrigation also play a crucial role in dissolving these nutrients, making them available for uptake.
