Hypothesis made by Aristotle... ?

Question

In answer to the question, "when a plant grows where does the material come from?", Aristotle hypothesized by logic that all material came from soil. Do you consider his hypothesis correct, incorrect, or partially correct? What experiments do you propose to support your choice?

Answer 1

eh, you cant have an incorrect, a correct or partially correct hypothesis, a hypothesis is an educated guess, so you cant have a right or wrong in it

so my answer is none of the above, lol

Answer 2

Incorrect.  Some material, Carbon Dioxide for example, does not come from the soil.  

Fact.  Photosynthesis.  6CO2 + 6H2O-----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Experiment.  Hydroponics.  Plants may grow without any soil whatsoever.
