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.

Land plants die in waterlogged soil because excessive water saturates the soil, filling up air spaces and reducing oxygen availability to the roots. This restricts the plant's ability to perform necessary functions like respiration and nutrient uptake, leading to root rot and plant death. Additionally, waterlogged soil can also promote the growth of pathogens that further harm the plant.

∙ 12y agoin a water logged soil, the micro organisms can not respire aerobically, therefore the undergo anaerobic respiration which make the soil acidic, the high acidic content of the soil leads to an increase in the decomposition of the plants roots which lead to the death of the plants.

∙ 11y agoBecause in the waterlogging condition roots are not able to respire for want of oxygen, which is otherwise available from the soil if not waterlogged.

What would you expect to find in soil?
in the soil you can find many insects, minerals and even water. do you know that if we dig anywhere, we will get fossils of animals and plants
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.
Which soil type gets water logged and floods after lots of rain?
maple
Where do plants get there water?
From the soil
What uses do plants make of the soil in which they grow?
Plants make nutrients and collect water from the soil
Where from do plants get water?
most plant use there roots to absorb water from the earth or soil but some plants use their leaves to catch water.
What plant grows in soil and water?
Every plant you see grows in soil but water is there just to keep it good all plants need water
Does water soil or sponges grow plants the best?
soil is better
Where does water from plants go?
Water transpired by plants is passed into the atmosphere as water vapor - gaseous water.
Where do plants get their water from?
into the roots, where the roots absorb the water from the soil
Where do plants obtain most of there water?
from soil.
What are Maryland's regions?

What is the importance of soil permeability to plants?
If soil wasn't permeable, water wouldn't reach the plants. They would die.
What are ten natural resources in California?
