Plants grow and derive in environment and nourished from the soil.
Explanation:
- Three elements carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are essential to plant growth and are supplied by air and water.
- The other essential elements are referred to as plant nutrients and are provided by the soil or are added as fertilizers and enter plants almost exclusively through the roots.
- Soil is a substrate for plants to grow in.
- Soil provides support nutrients and a network of water and air to the plant's roots.
- Plants can grow without soil but they will need structures to support them the correct amount of water and air to their roots and ample nutrients.
- Growth in plants occurs as the stems and roots lengthen.
- Some plants especially those that are woody also increase in thickness during their life span.
- The increase in length of the shoot and the root is referred to as primary growth and is the result of cell division in the shoot apical meristem.
