So it can absorb through the roots, so it can grow and flourish
What is not the ultimate goal of science is to produce unchanging and absolute answers . Scientists would like to, however, understand patterns, give explanations for natural events, and even make predictions.
And it isn't really the case that they would like to produce unchanging answers.
Plants get taller because they are stretching in search of sunlight. Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis; which energy, light, sunlight, water, carbon dioxide come together to produce sugar for the plants to survive.
In biology, the strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used in different contexts:
In microbiology, a strain is a part of a bacterial species different from other bacteria of the same species by a minor but identifiable difference. Strains are often created in the laboratory by mutagenesis existing strains or wild-type examples of bacterial species.
In zoology, a strain corresponds to an individual or group of individuals who are at the origin of a line of descendants, sometimes called the holotype, paratypes, etc. A strain is a population of organisms that descends from a single organism or pure isolate culture. Strains of the same species may differ slightly from each other in many respects.
A strain thus consists of a group of organisms of the same species possessing certain differential traits based on their relationship; either they come from the same region, as the same watershed of a river, or they are the fruit of a particular breeding program (exists as a whole interbreeding without introductions from external sources).
