Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Capillary water comprises the bulk of water remaining in the soil after gravitational water has drained away. Capillary water is held in the soil by capillary forces. It is the readily available water to the plants and is the main source of practically all the water absorbed by plants. Gravitational water is not readily available to the plants and penetrates below the level of the roots.
