Sandy soil- It is very much aertetated and lacks moisture. It is unsuitable for the plants growth.
Loamy soil- It is suitable for plant growth as it is well aertetated and holds water for plants.
Clayey soil-It holds very much moisture as a result it is not much suitable for plant growth.

Here is the answer to your question!!
SANDY SOIL:
* Soil particles are bigger in size.
* The large spaces between them are filled with air.
* Soil cannot retain water as water can drain out quickly through the spaces between the cell particle.
CLAYEY SOIL:
* It has higher proportion of fine and smooth soil particles.
* There is very little space between the soil particles.
* It cannot return air.
LOAMY SOIL:
* Mixture of sand silt and clay particles.
* It can hold both air and water.
* Best soil for growing most of the crops.
Hope it helped!!
