Thanks! • (46 votes) Biology BOSS 2 years agoPosted 2 years ago. Direct link to Biology BOSS's post “the plants are already be...” the plants are already being put in mineral water. It isn't the dirt that helps the plant it is the minerals that help it grow. (60 votes) jasper.irvin 2 years agoPosted 2 years ago.

Direct link to Seth | Flightsong's post “Chlorophyll is a naturall...” Chlorophyll is a naturally-produced chemical that helps in the photosynthesis process by, in fact, absorbing the photons (sunlight) used to rearrange atoms, as said in the second point. It also is actually a pigment, giving plants their green color! (52 votes) 18866dxbp 2 years agoPosted 2 years ago.

It has no roots, although it can develop feelers that allow it to latch onto branches. (12 votes) TOMMYA a year agoPosted a year ago.

Direct link to cyuutekat's post “Plants don't require soil...” Plants don't require soil to live if you have access to water with the correct nutrients for plants in it. That's why lotuses live in mud/muddy water, it's because mud is full of nutrients that the lotus needs, so the lotus will do better in the muddy water as opposed to just water (without minerals, obviously)! Some plants need soil, however. They may be able to survive a period of time in water with their food, but succulents and cacti need to be transferred to soil after water propagation. Maybe you would find it interesting to research more into this? Anyways, hope this answers your question. Ask more if you need to, there's always somebody on Khan Academy that can help!
