Answer 2

Answer:

Stomata are absent in Submerged aquatic plants.

Explanation:

Stomata is the organs with tiny openings that are present in the leaves of the plants and help in the exchange of gases. Stomata are found only on leaves and not on the stems. The opening and closing of these pores control is controlled by specialized cells called guard cells. Stomata are considered an adaptation of aerial plants.

The submerged aquatic plants exchange nutrients and gases from their surface. The surface cells on the leaves are capable of absorbing the water, nutrients and gases from the water. These plants do not require specialized organs for the exchange of nutrients and gases.

The process of transpiration also does not occur in these plants as transpiration is done by stomata.

An example of a submerged plant with no stomata is Aponogeton ulvaceus.
