Hello guys
How do aquatic plants undergo pollination?
Answers
Generally water plants have flowers at the top of a long stem holding the flowers above the water surface to allow for wind , insects and some animals to pollinate them. Water itself carries floating pollen to the floating female parts of some flowers that are on the water surface
Explanation:
Answer:
Pollination by water is called hydrophily. Some examples of water pollinated plants are Vallisneria and Hydrilla (both are angiospermic hydrophytes) which grow in fresh water and several marine sea-grasses such as Zostera. Not all aquatic plants use water for pollination. In a majority of aquatic plants such as water hyacinth and water lily, the flowers emerge above the level of water and pollinated by insects or wind as in most of the land plants.
Many aquatic plants are pollinated by many of the same agents as land plants. Generally water plants have flowers at the top of a long stem holding the flowers above the water surface to allow for wind , insects and some animals to pollinate them. Water itself carries floating pollen to the floating female parts of some flowers that are on the water surface.
