This document summarizes the specialized structures and uses of 10 different plant species: roses have thorns to protect from predators, water lilies have buoyant leaves to survive in water and access sunlight, onions and sweet potatoes store nutrients in bulbs and fibrous roots, cacti have spines for shading and protection from animals, mushrooms use hyphae to take in food, hibiscus ovaries contain ovules that develop into seeds, bamboo has protective nodes and internodes, and tomatoes have fibrous roots and angular stems to prevent soil erosion and contain oils that give it color.
