The roots breathe it just as animals do. No air (oxygen) to the roots = a smothered plant. cn

which is aquired when the plant takes in H2O (water) (2 partys hydrogen 1 part Oxygen makes up the H2O chemical bond)

Actually no. The roots and the leaves are metabolically different. Roots actively breathe air for its oxygen. Leaves produce oxygen only in light. The plant can't store the oxygen for later. cn

It's bad for them, especially in soil. Sparkling water is full of CO2 which will displace air and really suffocate the roots. cn

Oxygen in the soil is for the fungi and algea to thrive so your plant can consume it and grow !! However your plant is a weed, it would much rather attack and consume the roots of a plant next to it, that`s what weeds do and why we take them out of our vegtable gardens !! Oxygen will kill your plant in large quantities, that`s why the plant exausts it !!

Go ahead and teach them CN.
Hey sparking water guy, how bout you spray some axe body spray on the plant too so that the ladies get turned on and get hornier.
hahahahahhahahha

In a strange small way I have sympathy for these folks. When I started in this game, the idea that roots need oxygenated air, just like animals, was new and vaguely incredible to me. But I have found out that it is so, and so much of the "overwatered" plants I see in Plant Problems are that way from underaeration of the root zone , wheeze gasp.
Bottom line, everybody: plant roots need to breathe oxygen. In soil, that is from exchange of air. In hydro, especially immersion hydro like DWC, an air stone is used to put the dissolved O2 back in that the roots suck out. cn

You are entitled to your opinion,...!! Green stems and all !!

As you to yours, but please consider that metabolically, the roots and green parts are distinct. The need of roots for oxygen is fact. cn

I`ll read the rest of that link when they correct all the grammar and punctuation !! Looks like I wrote it !!
The reason a plant drowns is the saturated soil kills the funguses that breathe, and the roots can`t get the oxygen out of them by way of fluids !! People think that Termites eat wood,...well we know better than that,..don`t we !!
Trivia time: Why aren`t all plants labled as weeds ?
