Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The layers of soil in which plant roots grow along with the composition of the soil.
Introduction:
As a natural substrate for terrestrial plants, soil provides plants with inorganic materials. The loose outer layer that blankets the Earth's surface is known as soil. Along with climate, soil quality is a key factor in determining the distribution and development of plants.
