Explanation:
Terrestrial plants generally have deeper winding roots through the soil. This is needed for stability and water absorbtion. They will perform co2 and oxygen exchange with the air as well.
Aquatic plants generally have shallow roots only needed for stability as they can absorb water easily from their environment. They perform co2 and oxygen exchange with the water as well.
In general, terrestrial plants tend to grow much larger and branch out much further due to ease of gas exchange and sunlight availability. Aquatic plants tend to remain smaller because gas exchange with water is more difficult.
