how pebble plants deceives animals?
Answers
Answer:
Plants use many of the same methods as animals to camouflage themselves, a new study shows.
Research on plant camouflage is limited compared to the wealth of knowledge about how animals conceal themselves.
But a review by scientists from the University of Exeter and the Kunming Institute of Botany (Chinese Academy of Sciences) found plants use a host of techniques long known to be used by animals.
These include blending with the background, "disruptive colouration" (using high-contrast markings to break up the perceived shape of an object) and "masquerade" (looking like an unimportant object predators might ignore, such as a stone).
Answer:
The flat, rounded leaves and underground growth of pebble plants may protect them from herbivore by serving as camouflage. This flowering pebble plant blends into its surroundings, except when in bloom.
