When water sinks into the soil, it becomes soil moisture. Soil moisture is created when water in its liquid form seeps downwards into the soil and is held between the soil particles. The amount of soil moisture present can range from nearly dry to saturated. Soil moisture is an important component of the water cycle because it serves as a ready source of water to plants and other organisms, and can be released into the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration.
