A complete sentence has a noun and a verb. Without these the sentence is not complete. If we wrote "The cat." this is not complete because we don't know what the cat did. Instead "The cat ran down the street" is a complete sentence because the verb tells us what the cat did. I find students often don't add nouns and use pronouns instead and that makes an incomplete sentence as well. If used as the topic sentence there must be a noun to know who the pronoun is in the next sentence.
Generally speaking, a complete sentence only needs a subject and verb to be a complete sentence.
He walked.
I ran.
They yelped.
However, those basic sentences can be expanded with an object and clauses. You often need to combine single thoughts to make more complex sentences.

What is having an incomplete grammatical construction?
An incomplete grammatical construction is a series of words, phrases, or clauses that do not constitute a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and does not contain an introductory adverb, pronoun, or other word that makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense. Some examples: Complete sentence: John hit me. Incomplete sentence: when John hit me...[This depends on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: When John hit me, I hit him back. Complete sentence: Who is good? [The fact that it's a question makes it complete.] Incomplete sentence: who is good [The fact that it's not a question makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: A boy who is good will not go to the principle's office every so often. Other incomplete sentences: at at the bank feeling confused at the bank who is feeling confused at the bank because I was feeling confused at the bank Complete sentence: I left because I was feeling confused at the bank.

Is the sentence Most plants grow best when they are irrigated with fresh water a simple sentence or complex sentencw?
You have a complex sentence. Best is the last word of a complete sentence. When is an adverb. It is followed by the word They. The word They starts a complete sentence. Thus, the word when makes the second sentence subordinate to the first sentence. That makes it complex.
