What is Aquatic Plants?
The plants that develop in freshwater or saltwater are called
aquatic plants and derive their name from the word 'aqua' which means water.
Plants that float in water:
Some plants, like water hyacinth, float in water. They have
special types of leaves that help them to stay afloat. They use sunlight and
air to make their food.
Plants that grow under water:
Some plants grow under water. These plants take carbon dioxide
from the water around them and give out oxygen. Tape grass, pond weed and
hydrilla are such plants. Their leaves have no pores or stomata and they
breathe through their surface. These plants are flexible and can bend easily
with the flow of water.
Plants that are fixed in water:
Some plants like water lily and lotus have their roots fixed in
the waterbed. Their stems are hollow and light so that the flowers and leaves
can float on water. They breathe through the pores or stomata on their broad
leaves.
