Detailed explanation-1: -Aeroponics is a subgroup of hydroponics where plant roots are suspended in a dark enclosure, while a nutrient-dense solution is sprayed on the roots at certain intervals (Alshrouf, 2017). Nutrient delivery in this system is very precise and faster growth is possible as roots get ample oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -In aeroponics, plants are grown in such a way that their roots are suspended in the air. Nutrients required by the plants are dissolved in water and directly sprayed on to the roots. This method is very effective in minimizing the use of water in cultivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant’s roots are submerged in the solution, providing it with perpetual access to nutrition, water, and oxygen. Deep water culture is considered by some to be the purest form of hydroponics. Since the root system is suspended in water at all times, proper water oxygenation is vital to the plant’s survival.
