@thebrainmaze: Sunflowers can help clean certain contaminated soils through phytoremediation, a natural process in which plants absorb, accumulate, or stabilize pollutants. Their roots can take up some heavy metals from the soil and store them in plant tissues. Because sunflowers grow quickly and produce large biomass, they are studied as a low-cost, plant-based method for reducing certain types of soil contamination.
