Vedclass · Answer

(A) Mineral particles in the soil are responsible for holding water. These particles are classified into $5$ types based on their size in ascending order: clay,silt,fine sand,coarse sand,and gravel.Clay contains mineral salts,is chemically more active,and exhibits a higher capacity to retain water and ions.Loam soil is composed of a ratio of $1:2:2$ of clay,silt,and sand,respectively.Sandy soil contains very little clay and has the largest particle size,which results in the least water-retaining capacity,making it generally unsuitable for optimal plant growth.
