Answer 2

Tape grass and Lotus are aquatic plants which have different kinds of leaves because:

The chlorophyll can be produced by aquatic plants. The leaves are 'primary players' in this process. The lotus have round leaves which are larger for capturing enough sunlight for photosynthesis. The tape grass is submerged plant which hence has sunken stomata and 'small leaves' to reduce the gaseous exchange. While floating on the surface, its leaves are primarily submerged, and their ability to move with water helps them to capture the sunlight beneath the surface of water.
