Soil moisture driven off by heat is called hygroscopic water.

Well said, thank you @Kapil Sharma.

Water found on the surface of the soil which is not capable of movement either by gravity for capillary and can only be driven off by heat is called hygroscopic water.

What is structural water? Please explain me.

Under capillary water hydroscopic water is available, but cannot be used for any purpose.

The water that held tightly on the surface of soil colloidal particle is known as hygroscopic water.

When an oven-dry (heated to 105°C for zero percent moisture content) soil sample is exposed to the atmosphere, it takes up some moisture called hygroscopic moisture. This moisture can be removed by heat only. If more water is made available, it can be retained as capillary moisture due to surface tension (i.e. intermolecular forces). Any water, in excess of maximum capillary moisture, flows down freely and is gravitational water.

Water content in soil represents (gravity water+ capillary water + hygroscopic water) which can be removed by oven drying except STRUCTURAL water.
