Question
How do plants get nutrients?
✓
Answer
Plants obtain their nutrients from two main sources:
From the soil: They absorb water and essential minerals like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from the soil through their roots. These nutrients are dissolved in water and are crucial for the plant's growth and development.
From the air: Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. This CO2 is a key ingredient used in the process of photosynthesis to produce their own food (carbohydrates).
