How can I kill a plant by overwatering it, yet propagations of the same plant will grow in water?

It’s not the water that’s so much the issue, it’s the growth of bacteria, mold and all that fun stuff that hurt the roots. The germs (when they get to “hungry” in the sense think “let’s eat this big thing! It looks tasty” and then they eat the roots.
In plain water, it’s a lot harder for bacteria to live and be fuckin, but they still are. That’s why the propagation water should be changed every 2-3 days.
The plant can be fine in straight water, because it will move energy that would be used for growing leaves and bigger, down into growing roots to get nutrients.
