Question

Do plants absorb water at night?

Answer 1

Hint: Plants are the photosynthetic, eukaryotic and multicellular organisms which belong to the kingdom Plantae. They are known as autotrophs because they can prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They are the primary producers of the ecosystem and all other organisms are dependent on plants either directly or indirectly.

Complete answer:
Green plants obtain their own energy by sunlight. By the process of photosynthesis, green plants convert the water and carbon dioxide to glucose and oxygen with the help of chlorophyll. Oxygen gas is released as a by -product in green plants which is used by animals for respiration. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic who have lost the ability to do photosynthesis.
Plants are characterized by the basis of sexual reproduction, alternation of generation and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction only occurs in angiosperms and are also known as flowering plants. Flowers are the sexual unit reproduction. With the help of pollination, pollen grains move to the ovules and form a new organism.
Yes, plants do absorb water at night and in late evenings. With the help of roots and leaves they absorb the water at night. The absorbed water is used for the growth of plants. However, gardening the plants during night is not a good idea because the water may remain for an extended amount of time in soil which promotes the growth of bacteria and fungus in soil near the plant. And, the bacteria and fungus near plants are not good for plants.

Note:
Leaves can stay wet for a long time after soaking at night because they aren't exposed to the sun during the day. As a result, damp leaves are particularly susceptible to fungal growth. Avoid watering late at night, especially if you live in a humid climate. Fungus thrives in moist environments, such as wet leaves and humid weather.
