Discussion:
Aquatic plants are plants that live in water. They 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.

Others are immersed aquatic plants like lucky bamboo, golden photos and calla lily. They have
stems, leaves or flowers that grow out of the water.

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.

plants look the same. They have different flowers, stems, and even root structures that they use
in order to adapt to a certain environment. Plants live on different places depending on their
