Q: What kind of plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Aquatic plants are plants that live in water. Living in water has certain advantages for plants. One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.

 Choices:

- desert plants

- normal plants

- terrestrial plants

- aquatic plants


A:
aquatic plants
