Explanation:

Matric potential (Ψm) is the amount of water bound to the matrix of a plant via hydrogen bonds and is always negative to zero. ... The binding of water to a matrix always removes or consumes potential energy from the system. Ψm is similar to solute potential because the hydrogen bonds remove energy from the total system.
