What are the common types of aquatic flowers

Aquatic flowers are generally quieter and look cleaner and tidy. And there are many kinds of aquatic flowers, and now many can be used for home breeding.

I. the difference between aquatic flowers and terrestrial flowers

Terrestrial plants must have well-developed roots in order to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. In order to support the body, it is easy to transport nutrients and water with strong stems. Both roots and stems are covered with thick epidermis to prevent the loss of water. Aquatic plants are surrounded by water and do not need a thick epidermis to reduce the loss of water, so the epidermis becomes extremely thin and can absorb water and nutrients directly from the water. In this way, the root loses its original function, making the root of the aquatic plant underdeveloped. The roots of some aquatic plants do not absorb water and nutrients, but are mainly used for fixation. Plants that can grow in water are collectively referred to as aquatic plants. In a broad sense, aquatic plants include all marsh, submerged or floating plants. According to the depth of water needed for the vigorous growth of plants, aquatic plants can be further subdivided into deep-water plants, floating plants, aquatic plants, marsh plants or moisture-loving plants.
