Q: What type of plants do not typically require deep roots or woody stems?


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

Modern plants that live in water are called aquatic plants . 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 cuticle 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:

- surface plants

- dry plants

- bacterial plants

- aquatic plants


A:
aquatic plants
