Answer:
The answer is TRUE. Swollen and spongy petioles or leaf stalks keep the water hyacinth (Eichhoria crassipes) plant afloat.
Explanation:
The bulbous stem/petiole is hollow/spongy/swollen and when filled with air, provides the buoyancy to the water hyacinth so that it can float above the water unsupported. Inside these stems are large air cavities in the parenchyma tissue.
