  • An example of this would be grasses.

Roots are also good for the soil because when it rains the roots hold the soil in place so it's not washed away. ]]> 2018-12-03 15:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kiele_short/zfpxq0yvoqsu/wish/310476494 kiele_short https://padlet.com/kiele_short/zfpxq0yvoqsu/wish/310478504 Soil hold the nutrients that plants need to thrive, a structure to keep them rooted and a diversity of microorganisms. When soil gets washed away its called erosion. Erosion is the wearing away of Earth's surface by water or air.
