1.What are the different criteria for essentiality of an element? 

Dear Student,

Criteria for the essentiality of an element are:
  •  Absolutely necessary for the completion of the life cycle of a plant; necessary for its growth and reproduction
  •  Its requirement is specific, and not replaceable by any other element
  •  Directly involved in the metabolism of the plant

Hope this answers your question,

Best Wishes!!
