Plowing breaks up the blocky structure of the soil which can aid in drainage and root growth.
Plowing fields can also turn organic matter into soil to increase decomposition and add nutrients from the organic matter to the soil.
Turning the soil over not only mixes this organic matter, but it also increases oxygen in the soil which speeds up decomposition of the organic matter and makes more oxygen available for the plant roots.
One advantage of plowing is that it can mechanically break up weed roots and disrupt weeds from growing.

Loose soil has a lot of air trapped in it, which is used by the roots to breathe easily.
Loose soil allows the roots to penetrate deeper, thus securing the plant more firmly.
Loose soil helps the growth of earthworms and microbes in the soil.
They provide nutrients to the soil and aid in further loosening of the soil.
Turning and loosening of soil brings nutrient-rich soil to the top.
Plants can then absorb these nutrients more efficiently.
Loose soil mixes more uniformly with fertilizers.
