Question

herbaceous plant growing in a well watered soil are found to wilt on a hot day. why

Answer 1

Answer:

Herbaceous plants growing in well-watered soils are found to wilt on a hot day. On a hot day, herbaceous plants wilt even in well-watered soil because their rate of transpiration exceeds the rate of water absorption by the roots. Due to less water in the cells, they become flaccid and leaves become soft and wilt.
