our lives of all plants growing in the pond similar what is the difference between the leaves of a plant growing at the bottom(hydrilla) and that floating on the surface [lotus]? try to think and write why such difference may be there.
Answers
Free Floating - These plants float freely on the water surface. The entire plant is suspended on the water, allowing the plant to be moved around the pond by wind and water currents. Plants such as duckweed, mosquito fern, water hyacinth, and watermeal are free-floating.
Crested Floating Heart (Nymphoides cristata)Submersed Floating-leaved - These plants are anchored by roots to the bottom of the pond, but their leaves and flowers grow to and float on the water surface. Plants such as water lilies, lotus, water shield, and spatterdock are floating-leaved plants.
mixed sprawling emergent plants trailing Floating - These plants are rooted in the shallow areas nearest the bank and have a "trailing" or "creeping" growth habit which allows them to form floating mats that extend out over the water surface. Plants such as waterprimrose, alligator weed, pennywort (dollarweed), parrot-feather, and smartweed from trailing floating mats.
