Solution

Black soil is highly moisture retentive.

Explanation:

Black soil (also known as Regur soil) is highly moisture-retentive due to its clayey composition. It may retain moisture for a long time, expanding and becoming sticky while wet and forming deep fissures during the dry season (helping with natural self-aeration).
