Plants which live in water!
Some plants live completely under the water. Some float on the surface. Others grow in the water of ponds or on the banks of rivers and are partly covered by water. The plant Elodea has a long, strong underwater root which is anchored to the water bed.
The stem and leaves, which are on the surface, are thin, so that they are able to resist the wind without being uprooted. The water lily floats on water. The floating leaves have the stomata on the upper part exposed to the air.
