Answer 1

Nymphaea /nɪmˈfiːə/ is a genus of hardy and tender aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Many species are cultivated as ornamental plants, and many cultivars have been bred.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nymphaea is an example of floating but rooted hydrophytes.

Explanation:

Hydrophytes are plants that grow either completely or partially submerged in water.

The hydrophytes are divided into four types:

1. Amphibious hydrophytes.
2. Free floating hydrophytes.
3. Floating but rooted hydrophytes.
4. Submerged hydrophytes (floating  and rooted).

Nymphaea is a genus of water plants that are both hardy and delicate. Plants in this genus are commonly known as water lilies.

Since these hydrophytes are rooted in the mud at the bottom of the pond and their leaves and flowering shoots float on the water surface, these are considered as floating but rooted hydrophytes.
