Aquatic plants have the ability to float rather than being submerged in water. How?

Answer»

The ability to float rather than being submerged in water in aquatic plants comes due to the presence of a special tissue called aerenchyma which is a subtype of parenchymatous tissue. In this tissue large air cavities are present between parenchyma to give buoyancy to the plants which help them to float rather than being submerged.

Why the growth of plants occurs only in certain speciic regions?

Answer»

The growth of plants occur in speciic regions due to the presence of meristematic tissue in those speciic regions because the meristematic tissue is the one which is responsible for the division in plants. The areas where this meristematic tissue is present like the tip of roots, stem, at the bases of leaves, internodes etc growth occur there only. In other regions the meristematic tissue is absent. So, Growth occurs only in certain speciic regions.
