Answers
Free-floating macrophytes are aquatic plants that are found suspended on water surface with their root not attached to substrate, sediment, or bottom of the water body. They are easily blown by air and provide breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Answer:
Aquatic plants have adapted in a number of special ways in order to cope with their environments. There are many kinds of aquatic plants, each with distinct adaptive characteristics; these plants may be either entirely floating, submerged or partially submerged, as in the case of many swamp and wetland plant species.
Floating plants may have roots that hang in the water, but the plant is not attached to the pond bottom.
The most common adaptation is the presence of lightweight internal packing cells, aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common
