Solution:
The above statement is true.In a boiling tube, take a small amount of soil. Now place the tube over a flame and watch. Water in the soil evaporates during heating, rises, and then condenses on the boiling tube's upper, colder inner walls. This experiment demonstrates the presence of water in dry soil. The soil appears dry on the surface, but water is present. This water is held in the soil by forces of attraction between the water molecules and the soil particles. In its natural form, the soil is quite moist, which aids in the growth of the plants.
