The broad and flat leaves of lotus plant provide buoyancy to the plant.
The broad and flat surface is adaptation to get maximum sunlight.
Also the thin flat surface minimizes the distance between photosynthetic cells and exposure to CO2.
Broad leaves on the surface of water transpire actively and regulate hydrostatic pressure in the plant body.
These leaves have a waxy coating.
This waxy coating protects plants from physical and chemical injuries and prevents water clogging of stomata.
