Question

explain the adaptation shown by the hydrophilus flower

Priya Chauhan · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,

Pollination in water is quite a rare process Some of the adaptation
of the pollen grains are;

Pollen grains are long ribbon like and carried
along with the water current
The pollen grains are protected from wetting by the
mucilaginous covering
For Example in Vallisneria , the
stalk of the flower is long so as to reach the flower to the
surface of the water The pollen grains are released on to
the water surface, so water current passively moves them
into the stigma
