alleryThe form of soil water that is **available** to plants for absorption is:
AGravitational water
BHygroscopic water
CCapillary water
DCombined water
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Capillary water
Capillary water (held between soil particles by capillarity) is the form plants can absorb.
Gravitational (percolates away), hygroscopic (tightly adsorbed on particles) and combined water (in mineral hydrates) are not available.
