Question

1. What are the adaptations found in hilly plants?
2. What are the special features of plants growing in plains
3. How are desert plants adapted to their surroundings?
4. Why do mangrove plants need breathing roots?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The adaptation that helps "plants in hilly areas" to face "high speed winds" and "cold" is the conical shape and needle shaped leaves. The conical shape of the trees in hilly areas, helps the plant to survive, by sliding off and getting rid of the snow or ice that falls on the trees.

Plants in the Plain

These plants grow in plain, flat, surface of the earth. Trees have several branches and leaves. Many of these plants grow in warmer climate of the plains and shed most of their leaves in autumn. Example, Neem, Peepal, Ashoka and Mango.

To survive, desert plants have adapted to the extremes of heat and aridity by using both physical and behavioral mechanisms, much like desert animals. ... Phreatophytes are plants that have adapted to arid environments by growing extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.

Breathing roots: Underground tissue of any plant requires oxygen for respiration and in mangrove environment, oxygen in soil is very limited or nil. This necessitates mangrove root system to take up oxygen from the atmosphere. ... These roots have numerous pores through which oxygen enters into the underground tissues.
