Solution

Water requirement of plants:

  1. Water plays a crucial structural and functional role in plants.
  2. They provide the medium for nutrient transport and help the plant stay upright.
  3. When the plant roots are exposed to excess water for a long duration of time, the roots begin to decay.
  4. As the roots are impaired, the plant fails to take up water from the soil and thus wilts.
