The soil's ability to hold water mostly depends on its porosity, or more simply its composition. If the soil is made out of materials like clay, which have smaller particles that enable more water to stick to it, then the soil will be able to hold a lot of water.

A cell is composed of different organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, each also surrounded by a membrane and these organelles are suspended in the fluidy part of the cell know as the cytoplasm.

A cell membrane is a thin lining that surrounds the cell and encloses the cytoplasm. It is made up of two layers of lipids in which proteins are embedded. Cell membranes allow the selective passage of materials into and out of the cell.
