since all physiological processes occur with its participation.
The role of
water in plant life is as follows:Water plays an important role as a solvent, since minerals enter the plant and move in it in the form of solutions.
Water is involved in the synthesis of organic substances.
The amount of water entering the plant determines the appearance of the plant, its vital state;
Water affects the spread of plants on Earth.
For many plants, water is a habitat.
Water affects plants from the outside in various forms: in the form of rain, fog, artificial irrigation, groundwater. Get plants water from the soil and atmosphere. But atmospheric moisture in most cases plays an indirect role, reducing the evaporation of water from the soil. Only a few plants are able to absorb water from the atmosphere: mosses, lichens, epiphytes growing in the tropics on the trunks of trees. In deserts dew is of great importance in plant life, which is the main source of water in summer.
Rain, the main source of water entering the soil, and soil moisture is of paramount importance in the life of plants. Since the moisture regime in different parts of the earth's surface is not the same, this leads to the appearance of various ecological groups of plants adapted to a particular water regime.
