Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hydrophytes generally do not have a need for a well developed vascular system of xylem or phloem tissue. This is because that the plants are constantly surrounded by water, they can absorb the water by osmosis.
* Some hydrophytic leaf and stem cells have intercellular air spaces called lacunae or aerenchyma that help to provide buoyancy.
