adaptation of aquatic plants. (6 points)
Following are the adaptations of aquatic plants:
- Aquatic plants have their roots fixed in soil, deep below the surface of water.
- Unlike land plants, their roots are small.
- The stems of aquatic plants are long, hollow, and light. Their stem grows up to the surface of water, with leaves and flowers floating around it.
- Some aquatic plants are completely submerged in water. They have narrow ribbon-like leaves, which can easily bend with flowing water.
- In some submerged plants, leaves are divided, which allows water to flow past them easily without causing any damage to them.
