             Aquatic Plants live under the water or floating on the water. Plants like  Duckweed,Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce are examples for floating water plants. Plants like Eel grass,Water star grass, Hydrilla are  examples for submerged water plants. Lotus and  Water Lilyare the examples for Emergent water Plants. These plant have roots in the mud under thewater and have floating leaves.
              These plants have special adaptations like aerenchyma. Aerenchyma means air spaces in plants stems and leaves. It helps for buoyancy and allowing the circulation of gases.
              One of the largest aquatic plants in the world is the Amazon water lily. One of the smallestaquatic plants is the minute duckweed.

Plant Root cells

Roots functions : Absorb water and nutrients. Anchoring
the plant to the ground. Store food. Some type of plant's
roots go as for as more than 50 m into the ground. Some
types of plants have roots above the ground.E.g. Money
plant, mangrove genera trees etc.

Plant Cells - Leaf cells - Stomata
 Stomata are tiny openings in the leaf surface, looks like a mouth. They do the functions of respiration and releasing water vapors. They helps to take carbon dioxide and expel the oxygen. The guard cells around the opening help to control the size of the opening.

Interesting Facts ❗  😃

➽  The world's smallest flowering plant is the watermeal, or Wolffia globosa. They have the size of a grain of rice. The flower with the world's largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rain forests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. It has a very strong and horrible  odour of decaying flesh, earning it the nickname  corpse flower .

Plant Cells - Chlorophyll - Leaf

Our Food Source!
Chlorophyll in the Plant Cells. Chlorophyll makes
food using sunlight and carbon dioxide. This process is called
photosynthesis. In this process oxygen is produced. It  is the
source of  oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
