Question

What is the importance of soil ? How can we say that soil contains water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Not all the water, held in soil, is available to plants. Much of water remains in the soil as a thin film. Soil water dissolves salts and makes up the soil solution, which is important as medium for supply of nutrients to growing plants.

Answer 2

Plants require various nutrients for their proper growth. These nutrients get dissolved in water present in the soil. Plants absorb water from soil with the help of their roots. The absorbed water transports the nutrients to various parts of the plants.
