Answer:

It has adapted to its enviroment.

Explanation:

A watery habitat does present some challenges to water lilies. Pollination via wind or animals isn't possible underwater, so water lilies have evolved adaptations to keep their flowers above the water's surface. Water lilies have bowl-shaped flowers and broad, flat, floating leaves to let them gather the maximum amount of sunlight, which does not permeate the water's surface very deeply. Plus, their leaves and stems contain wide air spaces that run all the way down to the roots, which provide more buoyancy via a reservoir of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
