Question

Why do the leaves of lotus have more stomata on its upper surface?

Answer 1

This is a species of water lily whose leaves float on the surface of a pond or lake. If it were like an ordinary leaf, it would have the majority of its stomata in the lower epidermis, pressed against the water's surface – they would be unable to absorb any carbon dioxide from theatmosphere.

Answer 2

Heya! !!!

Here is the answer,

____________

Stomata are the small openings present underneath the leaves of the plants with the help of which plants breathe in air. In water lotus, the leaves float on the surface of the water. In such condition, if the stomata are present underneath, it would be difficult for them to breathe in oxygen. Hence, in water plants stomata are present on the upper surface.
