Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phytoremediation basically refers to the use of plants and associated soil microbes to reduce the concentrations or toxic effects of contaminants in the environment. Phytoremediation is widely accepted as a cost-effective environmental restoration technology.

Detailed explanation-2: -Various phytoremediation methods Different types of contaminants that cause harmful effects on human health and other biological systems are removed using plant species. These plant species uptake these pollutants from the environment and detoxify their toxic effect.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phytoremediation is an environmental pollution control technology based on the theory of plant tolerance and excessive accumulation of certain or some chemical elements, which uses plants and their coexisting microbial systems to remove pollutants in the environment[8, 9].

Detailed explanation-4: -Removing arsenic with ferns is just one example of phytoremediation, using plants to purify land or water. By putting plants to work, remediation practitioners can save money on excavation costs and preserve soil structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phytoremediation, a type of bioremediation, is the use of green plants for detoxifying polluted soil, water, and air.
