Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aquatic plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water, or at the water’s surface. The most common adaptation is the presence of lightweight internal packing cells, aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adaption : Submerged leaves can bend in the flowing water because these plants have very thin binding like leaves, which enabled them to bend in the flowing water. The stems of some aquatic plants are long, hollow, and light.
Detailed explanation-3: -(b) Stems/stalks of leaves of aquatic plants are long, soft, hollow and light which give them buoyancy and allow them to float on the surface of the water.
