Answer 2

Hydrilla is an example of a submerged aquatic plant.

Plants that grow in water are called aquatic plants. They are also known as hydrophytes. Their body structure is adapted to survive in water.

The adaptational features of aquatic plants are:

• The stem is thin and delicate in submerged plants like hydrilla while reduced in freely floating plants.
• Their leaves are reduced in size but thicker in submerged plants while longer and spongy type in freely floating ones.
• Leaves contain wax or mucilage to prevent from rotting.
• Stomata are found on the upper surface.
• They have aeronchyma tissues that make them soft and flexible.

Types of aquatic plants are:

a. Submerged: E.g. hydrilla, vallisnaria

b. Freely floating: E.g. wolfia, lemna

c. Fixed floating: E.g. water lily, lotus

d. Amphibious: E.g. Rumex, ranunculus.
