Hydroponics is a form of agriculture in which a plant is given oxygen and nutrients directly to its roots. Hydroponics doesn’t use soil, and the nutrients are supplied in a liquid form directly to the roots. Because light, heat, fertilizer, oxygen, pests and water are controlled to a great degree, hydroponics plants may grow faster than plants grown using other more traditional agricultural methods.

 

Egyptian hieroglyphs record the growing of floating crops along the Nile River. The Pharaohs enjoyed fruits and vegetables grown hydroponically.
