how does water protect crops frm frost and hot air currents

Jyoti Pant · Accepted Answer

Water is absorbed by the plant roots Along with water, minerals and
fertilisers are also absorbed Plants contain nearly 90% water Thus
it has a good heat absorbing capacity Also, water protects them
from the cold air temperatures The water freezes onto the crop, a
process that releases heat and provides the necessary warmth to
protect the crop from the harsh freezing temperatures that could
cause damage
