There is nothing in sand that will make plants grow.
Sand will not grow plants better than soil ,although in some cases sand will be used under controlled conditions.
Soil contains the nutrient plants need to grow. Sand does not.
its for my school science project
It depends on what plant you are referring to, as there are millions of plants out there; some grow better in sand, and others grow better in soil.
Plants will grow better in loam because of its nutrients and texture and structure.
Not all plants grow in sand. Plants produce food from a combination of elements in their environment, including sunlight, water, and nutrients in the soil (or sand, I suppose).
yes plants do grow better and faster if fertilizer is used instead of plain old soil from the ground.
Because Sand is more airy to the roots to respire better
sand and potting soil
because soil has more nutrients in it which is better than in the sand
They don't grow better in sand they need more attention than in soil. They don't grow better they will survive but need more attention than in soil.

Beans grow better in soil because soil has all the moisture and nutrients. If you use sand, it could be to rocky. Clay will also not be good even though it can keep good moisture it does not have the nutrients like soil.
soil as there are more nutrients
Very few plants will grow in heavy clay soil and not many will grow in sand. Plants need organic material in the soil to enable the roots to penetrate and to nourish the plants, so the more humus soil contains, the better most plants will grow. Plants also do not thrive in very acid or highly alkaline soil. Most plants prefer neutral or slightly acid pH. Sne45: I think clay-like soil, nor do I think plants in sand can grow.
Depends on the plant but most, not all grow better in soil because of the richness. Plants can grow next to rocks but some in rocks.
plants grow better in soil because all the nutrients that are needed for it to grow are in the soil
soil
Plants will grow better in loam because of its nutrients and texture and structure.
No, plants usually grow the biggest in soil because it contains more nutritional elements under technical conditions. However, there are certain plant species which have adapted to the special conditions needed in order to grow in sand and therefore, these plants can grow bigger in sand. Moreover, there are "plant-social" reasons, e.g. when a plant is resistant to salt can grow better in sand than others which are not, so it grows alone and without "competition" and it grows better.
