Question

Why do plants need water?

• A. They require water for germination
• B. Nutrients required by plants are water soluble
• C. Plants need water for mineral nutrition
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Plants need water as the nutrients responsible for their growth are water soluble. They require water for fundamental processes like germination and mineral nutrition as well as to compensate for what is lost due to transpiration. Water is required for nutrition in plants but only needs to be supplied in intervals and not continuously.
