Trees primarily absorb water and nutrients from the soil, primarily through their roots. The water absorbed is essential for various physiological processes, including photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining cell structure. In addition to water, trees take up essential minerals and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which contribute to their growth and overall health. The relationship between trees and the soil is vital, as healthy soil provides the necessary components for trees to thrive. In turn, trees play a crucial role in improving soil quality through organic matter return and fostering a diverse ecosystem of microorganisms.
