Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capillary water is the main type of water that plants use. Capillary water is the water held in the soil by capillary forces and is available for uptake by plant roots. Vadose water is the water in the unsaturated zone above the water table, which is not readily available to plants. Artesian water is the water in an aquifer that is confined under pressure between two impermeable layers or aquicludes. Hydroscopic water is the water that is held tightly on the surface of soil particles and is not available for plant uptake. Aquicludes are layers of rock or sediment that prevent water from flowing through them.
