Learning Competency with code

Identify the specialized structures of terrestrial and aquatic plants (S4LT-IIe-
f-9)

Background Information for Learners

Terrestrial Plants are plants that grow in soil and rocks. Some terrestrial plants
are small, others are big. There are plants with big trunks while others have soft stems.
Others bear flowers while others do not.
Aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living within aquatic
environments. They are also referred to as hydrophytes. These plants require special
adaptations for living submerged in water or at the water’s surface. Aquatic plants can
only grow in water or in soil permanently saturated with water. Roots of the plants
adapt themselves too to their habitat.
They differ in sizes and shape too. These characteristics are determined by their function.
Specialized structures are important to plants in order to adapt to their
environment. Thorns and hairs are some of the specialized structures of plants. Not all
plants have thorns and hairs. The water lily have wide and flat leaves while lotus leaves
are flat and broad. The wide and flat leaves of water lily help distribute weight over
a large area thus helping them float. The hyacinths have long roots so that they can
reach the soil under the water.
All plants need sunlight, water, air and sustainable environment to grow. Plants
need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make their own food through
photosynthesis. All plants have structures that help them to adapt to their particular
environment.
