Plant adaptation
Plants develop specific features to adapt to their environments, a process known as adaptation. There are various types of plants categorized by their habitats, such as terrestrial and aquatic plants, each exhibiting unique adaptations like leaf shapes and root structures. Examples include evergreen trees in high rainfall areas and floating plants with broad, waxy leaves in water.

Adaptation helps plants adjust to their environments, with features specific to groups aiding survival.
Distinction between terrestrial plants (land) and aquatic plants (water), highlighting their ecosystems.
Outlines various global plant habitats: hilly, plain, desert, marshy, coastal, and heavy rainfall zones.
Hilly regions feature cone-shaped trees adapted to snowy altitudes, with needle leaves and conical flowers.
Plains experience high temperatures; leaves fall in autumn to conserve resources.
Desert plants have thorny leaves and perform photosynthesis in stems, adapted to dry conditions.
Marshy regions have sticky clay soil; plants develop breathing roots that grow above the soil for oxygen.
Coastal plants adapt to salty water and sandy soil; seed dispersal occurs through water.
Evergreen trees retain green leaves year-round as an adaptive strategy to their environment.
Categorizes aquatic plants into fixed, floating, and underwater plants based on their adaptations.
Fixed plants have roots anchored to the pond floor; floating plants are lightweight with broad, waxy leaves.
Completely submerged plants possess long, narrow leaves, showcasing specific adaptations for aquatic life.
Invitation to discover more plant types with special adaptations, prompting further exploration.
