    The document discusses how plants produce their own food through photosynthesis using leaves, and absorb water and nutrients using roots. It provides examples of how eggplant is affected in wet versus dry seasons. In wet seasons, leaves produce food but roots absorb less due to excessive water. In dry seasons, leaves produce less food due to lack of water while roots also absorb less. It recommends techniques for dry seasons like mulching and composting to preserve soil moisture through increased water holding capacity and preventing evaporation.
