Answer:

Aquatic plants may take in carbon dioxide from the air or water, depending on whether their leaves float or are under water. The leaves of floating plants, such as lotus and water lilies, get direct sunlight. These types of aquatic plants do not require special adaptations to perform photosynthesis. They can take in carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen into the air. The exposed surfaces of the leaves have a waxy cuticle to mitigate water loss to the atmosphere, like terrestrial plants..

Explanation:

In aquatic plants, water passes among thetissues and provides the medium for gas exchange. ... Gases do not pass through thecuticle of the leaf; they pass through pores called stomata in the cuticle and epidermis.
