Basically, when a land-based plant is water-logged, the roots begin to rot, thus killing the plant. The root system of a plant is just like a "brain" and without it functioning the plant simply can't survive. Some plants need to be in a "well-drained" position. This is because there are some plants which rot quickly and they need to be drier around the root system.

Where do most plants live on earth?

Plants can be found living on land, in the oceans, and in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes. The majority of plant species are found on land, where they play a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystems by providing oxygen, food, and habitats for other organisms.


What adaptive features have contributed to the success of various plants and animals on land?

Protection of seeds


How Garbage affects plants?

Garbage can negatively affect plants by releasing toxins and chemicals into the soil, contaminating water sources, and inhibiting the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water. This can lead to stunted growth, poor health, and ultimately the death of the plant. Additionally, garbage can attract pests and diseases that can further harm plants.


Who was the early scientist who first demonstrated experimentally that plants do not have the same modes of nutrition as animals?

The early scientist who first demonstrated experimentally that plants do not have the same modes of nutrition as animals was Jan Baptista van Helmont. He conducted an experiment where he grew a willow tree in a measured amount of soil and water, demonstrating that the increase in the plant's mass came mostly from water rather than soil, showcasing that plants do not solely rely on soil for growth.

Plants living on land get water and nutrients from the?

They get their nutrients from the roots they grow underground. The roots "soak" up the nutrients and water the plant needs.

Do plants grow faster with soil or water?

Well there is other plants that can grow in water like lily pads so if you use lily pads it would be water.If you are growing a land plant it would be both. So if you were growing to see by doing water by itself and the soil by it self with the plant it would be soil.


Why should I care about erosion?

Because it hearts the soil and damages the land. Because it hearts the soil and damages the land.


Can vegetable plants get too much water?

Yes, vegetable plants can get too much water, leading to water-logged soil, root rot, and reduced oxygen uptake by the roots. Overwatering can also inhibit nutrient uptake and lead to stunted growth and wilted foliage. It's important to water plants based on their specific watering needs and the moisture level of the soil.


Living on land required that plants?

Living on land required that plants develop adaptations to obtain water and nutrients from the soil, develop structures for support against gravity, and evolve methods for reproduction without the need for water.
