deep mixing

Deep mixing is a process in plants where nutrients and water from the soil are transported from the surface layers to deeper parts of the plant through specialized channels. This movement allows plants to access essential resources stored in lower tissues or parts of the plant, helping them survive in challenging conditions or when surface nutrients are limited. Essentially, it's the plant’s way of redistributing vital substances internally to maintain health and growth, ensuring resilience by efficiently managing nutrient resources deep within their structure.
