Plants adapt to the environment in different ways.
Give one different way how different parts of the plant adapt explain what it does.
roots/stems/leaves (deserts/tropical rainforests/wetlands)
Deserts:
- Deep roots to absorb water deep in the ground.
- Shallow roots absorb water quickly.
- Thick stems to store more water.
- Needle-shaped leaves to reduce water loss.
Wetlands:
- Aerial roots to get more oxygen in the air due to the lack of oxygen in the soil.
- Stems have holes to facilitate gaseous exchange due to the lack of oxygen in the soil.
- Leaves are waxy to reduce water loss from high salt content and high sunlight.
Tropical rainforests:
- Buttress roots support trees to grow tall to get more sunlight.
- Stems twine around trees to climb tall and get more sunlight.
- Leaves are broad and smooth to get more sunlight and shed excess water.
