Cell division—Turgid cells reproduce faster.
Photosynthesis—Where moisture is deficient,
stomates close and CO2 movement is limited.
Rooting of cuttings—Moisture is needed to keep
stems from drying.
Germination of seeds—Uniform moisture results in
a high germination rate.
Soil air supply—Amount of moisture regulates the
air supply.
An adequate and properly regulated supply
of moisture will help control plant growth and
flowering.
