Solution: A culture media is a growth medium that has been artificially created. This medium contains a variety of nutrients, chemicals, growth regulators, and food supplements that the growing cell requires for optimum growth and nourishment. The soil is a naturally occurring medium that contains all of the minerals, nutrients, decomposers, water, and other elements necessary for organism growth.

Soil is a water and nutrient reservoir for plants. Similarly, for plants growing on a culture medium, the culture medium serves as a reservoir for water and plant nutrients. Many nutrients may be lacking, and the soil may have a higher or lower nutrient concentration. However, all of the critical nutrients are provided as needed in the culture medium. As a result, the culture media is more nutrient-dense for the plants. The culture media can be described as a highly enriched laboratory soil as a result of these factors.
