CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A growing medium can be defined as a substance through which roots grow and extract water and nutrients. In native plant nurseries, a growing medium can consist of native soil but is more commonly an “artificial soil” composed of materials such as peat moss or compost.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants typically take in nutrients through their roots. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and transport them to the rest of the plant. The roots can also absorb nutrients from the air and water. The process of roots taking in nutrients is called absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the Soil into the Plant Essentially all of the water used by land plants is absorbed from the soil by roots. A root system consists of a complex network of individual roots that vary in age along their length. Roots grow from their tips and initially produce thin and non-woody fine roots.
