Water is essential for plant growth. Plants contain about 90% of water. All nutrients absorbed by the roots are dissolved in water, which are then transported to different parts of the plant. Due to important physical properties of water, it protects plants from hot currents as well as from frost. It also helps in seed germination and maintains soil moisture required for plant growth.
