1. Mangrove tree-
2. coconut tree-
3. cactus-
4. water lily-
5. floating plants-
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Mangroves have had to physically adapt their leaves, their roots and their reproductive methods in order to survive in a harsh, dynamic environment of soft, low oxygen soils and varying salinity.

2.The fruit's wide array of uses in foods, lotions and other products, coconuts (Cocos nucifera) are sometimes referred to as "the tree of life." Amazingly adaptable, this palm's ability to spread its seeds and grow in a variety of conditions allowed it to become a pan-tropical species. Originally, coconuts grew in the southwestern Pacific, but today they grow extensively around the tropics. Coconut palm's only limitations are freezing temperatures, flooded soil and drought.

3. Cacti live in a desert environment where rain is rare, and even if it does rain, due to the heat water will simply evaporate. To cope with this Cacti have adapted allowing them to survive in the extreme desert climate.

4.  Adaptations of water lilies allow to live in a particular habitat, but make it difficult for it  to live somewhere different. This is why water lilies live in one area but not in another.

5.Adaptations are many and varied. Many aquatic flowing plants have leaves that lie flat on the water for maximum sunlight collection. The stems of many aquatic plant have large air-filled areas to increase buoyancy. Many fruits of aquatic plants float on water, which increases dispersal as fruits and sees float away. Plants like cattails or reeds however may hold their fruits high above the water for wind dispersal. Many aquatic plants have deep, anchoring roots, but some, like duckweeds float freely and allow their roots to drift in the water below them. One aquatic plant is eel grass, which has adaptation for living in salt water.
