Roots need oxygen in the same way leaves need carbon dioxide.Soil is porous and roots absord oxygen from the spaces in the soil. Too much water can cut off the supply of oxygen to the roots ( roots need O2 from air ). Some water if fine as long as it is aerated.Too much water and the plant goes to live on a farm with all the other overwatered plants.
