It makes it so that it holds less water and nitorgen.

small particles absorb moisture and speed up solution
large particles aid drainage and slow down solution
hence texture of small particulate soils is more smooth / wet

Fine soil is clay, texture is smooth, will flood/drown plants.
large particle is sandy soil, is ruff and you can not keep plants watered enough. A perfect soil is a loam.
