State five importance of organic matter to the soil.

3. Soil  organic matter also plays a role in increasing moisture retention and consequently the drought  tolerance of the crop.

4. In addition to providing nutrients and habitat to organisms living in the soil, organic matter also binds soil particles into aggregates and improves the water holding capacity of soil.

5. It produces healthy crops that in turn nourish people

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
