Answer:

Permeable soil will let more water and air to drain through the plant as this type of soil loses too much water.

Step-by-step explanation:

A soil possessing an enhanced quality to transfer water is known as permeable soil. Hence, there would be more drainage in the soil with enhanced permeability. Permeable soil loses more water as compared to the impermeable ones. Hence, choosing permeable soil would be best for plants that require a lot of drainage. To check permeability of soil two types of tests are performed which are the constant head method and falling head method.
