Features of water pollinated flowers:
They produce a large number of pollens because most of them get lost by the flow of water.
The stigmas are large and feathery to catch the pollens.
The male flowers after maturation get detached from the plant and float above the water surface.
The stalks of the pollinated flowers are usually very long to project their stigmas above the water surface.
No animal transporters are needed for pollination.
The flowers need not to be colourful (no need to attract) and generally white in colour.

Answer
- the flowers of aquatic plants are small and not showy since they do not need to attract insects
- the stalks of the flower are long. the pistils can reach the surface of water and are able to capture the pollen grains floating in the water
- pollen grains are produced in large quantities to be easily transported by the water. These pollen grains are spongy and water resistant
