Adaptive Modifications in Plants · NCERT Biology

Floating leaves in aquatic plants like lotus show which adaptive feature?

  1. Thick waxy cuticle covers the leaf surface
  2. Sunken stomata reduce the water loss rate
  3. Waxy coating with stomata on upper surface
  4. Reduced surface area to limit evaporation
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Waxy coating with stomata on upper surface

Floating leaves possess a waxy coating and stomata on the upper surface. This facilitates gas exchange and prevents waterlogging.
