Characteristic features of hydrophilous flowers

Answer 1

The floral adaptations of hydrophilous flowers are:

Flowers are colorless, small, inconspicuous without nectar and fragrance.Pollen grains are long, ribbon-like structures which are carried with current of water.The pollen grains are light but covered with wax, in order to protect them from wetting.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Flowers without nectar and smell are unattractive, tiny, and colorless. The lengthy, ribbon-like components that make up pollen grains are conveyed by water currents.
• The wax protects the light pollen grains from getting wet despite their low weight.
• Pollens produced in vast quantities and with a certain weight, which causes them to float below the surface, are typically found in aquatic plants.
• The male flower in Vallisneria floats on the water's surface until it comes into contact with the female blooms.
• Flowers are tiny and unnoticeable.
• The perianth and other flower components cannot be moist.
• Both nectar and smell are missing.
• Due to the existence of a mucus layer, pollen grains are thin and non wettable.
• Long, sticky, and non wettable is stigma.
