Q.72. A plant adapted to a wet environment is called

(A) Hydrophytes

(B) Xerophyte

(C) Mesophyte

(D) Tropophyte

Answer: A

Explanation:

 

  1. Hydrophytes – are aquatic plants that are especially suited for living in aquatic environments. Example: Lotus, Sea weeds, Pistia, Water lily etc.
  2. Xerophytes- are plant that has adaptations to survive in an environment with little liquid water, such as a hot or cold desert.
  3. Phreatophytes- is a deep-rooted plant that obtains water that it needs from the phreatic zone i.e zone of saturation or the capillary fringe above the phreatic zone.
  4. Mesophytes- a plant need only a moderate amount of water. as they are terrestrial plants which are neither adapted to particularly dry nor particularly wet environments.
  5. Trophophytes -are the plants acts as mesophyte during rainy season and xerophyte during dry season.
