1.	Land plants die if their foots remain water logged. Give Reasons.
Answer» Older portions of the root do not have root hairs. They are covered with a protective layer of dead calls having tiny openings called lenticels. Through these lenticels, gaseous exchange occurs between the soil and inner living cells. If the roots of land plants remain waterlogged, then lenticels will not be able to do gaseous exchange and as a result of this plants will die.
