Data Table on the
Characteristics of Aquatic Plants
Aside from the plants mentioned,
there are different plants with
specialized structures that able
them to survive and adapt to their
environment. Some of the plants
are the following:
Directions: Rearrange the
scrambled words inside the
parenthesis to answer the
following questions.
1. It lives in the garden. It has
wide red colored petals. Insects
keep on visiting it. What plant
is it? ________________
(umalameg)
2. It lives in water. It has light
and spongy stalks that enable it
to float. What plant is it?
____________( inthayhc)
3. It is the national fruit of the
Philippines. What plant is
it.____________ (onamg)
Others have smaller roots
which water can diffuse
directly into leaves. Some have
feathery roots and specialized
roots for taking in oxygen.
Long roots of plant help the
 depending on their
characteristics. Plants can grow
in water, soil and air. They can
be terrestrial or aquatic.
Any plants that grow on land or
need to be on dry land to survive
is called Terrestrial plants.
They need nutrients to survive
both from the air and the soil.
They are planted deeply in the
soil. Through its roots, the plants
draw minerals and any needed
moisture from the soil.
E. Discussing new concepts However, Aquatic plants are
and practicing new skills plants that live in water. They
#2. can only grow and thrive in
water environment. Some
aquatic plants can live out of the
water but they need to be placed
again in water for survival.
Some aquatic plants are
classified as submersed.
Characteristics of submersed
plants include having all or
almost all of the plant growing
under water. Examples:
Plants with waxy leaves like
“gabi leaves” help protect
themselves from dehydration as
a result of too much exposure
to sunlight.
Some plants have also
developed structure to store
water especially in the desert.
Cactus is the best example of
this. It has fleshy stems to
conserve water for a long time.
It also has spines as its
specialized structure to protect
them from predators.
Roots of the plants adapt
themselves to their habitat.
They differ in sizes and in
shapes depending on their
functions. Examples are radish
and potatoes with bulbous roots
system. Thorns and hairs in
some plants like lipang aso are
protective structures.
Aquatic plants have also some of
the characteristics that help them
survive in water. Some of them
have thin cuticles primarily to
discourage water loss, thus, most
hydrophytes have no need for
cuticles.
They have stomata that are open
most of the time because water is
abundant and therefore there is no
need for it to be retained in the
plant. This means that guard cells
on the stomata are generally
inactive.
Some have flat leaves and air sacs
for flotation. Flat and buoyant
leaves of plants help the plant float
in water. The water lily leaves
have thick and buoyant leaves
while lotus leaves are flat and
broad so they tend to float in water
plant reach the soil underwater.
The hyacinths is the best
example having long roots so
that they can reach the soil
under the water. These
specialized structures are
important to plants in order to
adapt to their environment. We
are able to choose and identify
plants to grow in a particular
habitat because of their
characteristics.
Specialized structures are
important to plants in order to
adapt to their environment.
Plants growing in different
places are exposed to varied
conditions. Their structures are
suited to what they need in that
place in order to survive.
Examples:
1. Forest trees grow tall and
sturdy to get sunlight.
2. Cactuses have large thick
stem to store water.
Thorns and hairs are some of
the specialized structures of
plants. Not all plants have
thorns and hairs. Thorns and
hairs protect the plants from
animals.
