What happens if we over water a plant ?

This question raised in my mind when I saw my mother watering the plants in our garden during the rainy season .

I have an opinion that we have to feed a person only when he is hungry . We must remember that we over eat when we starve . Starving and being hungry are both different things .


The same applies to plants too . Growing plants use oxygen for respiration just like we do . Roots are essential for a plant as they bring in water and nutrients . Healthy soil allows the oxygen to fill in the gaps between the soil .



If there is too much water or the soil is constantly wet , there is no enough water pockets between the soil particles . This results in limited oxygen supply and plants are not able to breathe . Eventually , plants will die .
