Hydrophytes are plants that live in water, featuring a thin cuticle, stomata on upper surfaces, and broad, flat leaves that do not risk water loss.
Gidrofitlar suvda yashaydigan oʻsimliklardir va ular yupqa qutikula, yuqori yuzada joylashgan changchilar va keng, tekis barglarga ega boʻlib, ular suv yoʻqotishidan xavotirga solmaydi.

Back | - Live in water with high water availability e.g water cress and water lilies adaptions - thin/no waxy cuticle, as water loss not an issue - many always-open stomata on upper surfaces, so more gas exchange while not worrying baout water loss - reduced structure as water supports it anyways - wide, flat leaves to maximise capture of light - main problem is water-logging, where water fills air spaces |
