Why does potted plant die when overwatered
Answers
Answer:
when a plant is overwatered it needs to get rid of excess water through transpiration but the rate of transpiration me not be able to remove excess water due to this an over watered plant usually die
we know that plants do not have any specific organ for breeding to utilise the simple process of diffusion for exchanging the gases Oxygen and carbon dioxide they do so with the help of small opening on the surface of their leaves these opening are called stomata stomata are generally open up during the daytime and remain closed at night they help in the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in addition to doing this exchange exchange of gases the stomata also help the plants in the process of transpiration transpiration is an important part of the water cycle in nature it is by this process that plants lost their excess water through their open stomata .
Overwatering a plant may close the pores (STOMATA) .
if stomata are blocked how will the plant respire or make food for themselves.
by this way excess water can harm plants .
