Peat Moss is used as a packing material for sending flowers and live plants to distant places because

1. it is hygroscopic

4. it is easily available

Correct answer: it is hygroscopic

Solution

Peat moss can absorb and hold a large amount of water, so it keeps the packing medium moist around flowers and live plants. This helps prevent desiccation during long-distance transport.
