Explanation:
Sandy soil will allow more water to percolate because it has a lot of sand and water drains quickly through large spaces between the sand particles.
The soil's ability to retain water is strongly related to particle size; water molecules hold more tightly to the fine particles of a clay soil than to coarser particles of a sandy soil, so clays generally retain more water. Conversely, sands provide easier passage or transmission of water through the profile.
