Answer:
which type of soil is best for growing plants and why
Loam soils
Loam soils are best for plant growth because sand, silt, and clay together provide desirable characteristics. First, the different-sized particles leave spaces in the soil for air and water to flow and roots to penetrate. The roots feed on the minerals in the suspended water.

Loamy soil is considered best for growing plants because-
- It is a mixture of sand, silt and clayey in which more nutrients and organic matter are present as compared to other soils.
- Large air places between sand particles do not allow water to retentate while small-sized particles of clayey soil make the soil fertile by absorbing water. Thus, loamy soil has mixed properties of sand, silt and clayey. This feature makes it most fertile and useful for growing different types of plants and crops.
