Give biological reason for the following statements :

Verified by Experts

If the soil is fertilized and not watered properly, then the concentration of the soil becomes high. As a result, soil becomes hypertonic as compared to the root cells of the plant, so exosmosis takes place which may result in drop of water level in plant and thus plant wilts.
