DRILL: Tell if the following statements is True or False.

______1. All plants grow from seeds.

______2. Plants give us a lot of things like food
clothing and shelter.
______3. Plants also need to adapt to their given
environment to survive.
______4. Plants do not need sunlight.
______5. Terrestrial plants are plants that can be
seen growing in soil, rock and sand.
1.What are being shown in the
pictures?
2.What is the difference between
the two plants in the picture?

Just like animals plants are

classified to the type of habitat
that they live in. These plants
also need to adapt to their
habitat to survive.
 KINDS OF PLANTS IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT:
TERRESTRIAL PLANTS AQUATIC PLANTS
ADAPTATION:
 An adaptation is the structure or
behavior that helps an organism
survive in its environment or
habitat.
 All organisms whether it is plants or
animals need to adapt or learn to
adapt to their environment/habitat
to ensure survival.
AQUATIC PLANTS
 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
that’s is permanently saturated with water.
 Aquatic plant are plants that have adapted to
living in aquatic environments (saltwater or
freshwater). They are also referred to as
hydrophytes or macrophytes.
AQUATIC PLANTS
 There different kinds of aquatic plants: namely:
The Free-floating, Fixed – Floating, Emergent
and Submergent.
 FREE-FLOATING AQUATIC PLANTS
 Are aquatic plants that are found
suspended on water surface with their
root not attached to substrate or
sediment or bottom of water body. They
are easily blown by air and provide
breeding ground for mosquito.
 EXAMPLE:
Water Lettuce, Water Cabbage, Azolla
FIXED-FLOATING AQUATIC PLANTS
 Have roots which are fixed to the
bottom of the pond. Have long
hollow stem to reach the surface of
the water and have broad and waxy
coated leaves to prevent them from
rotting. Lotus and water lilies
developed wide leaves that allow
them to float on water.
 Lotus and lily are example.
 EMERGENT AQUATIC PLANTS
 Are aquatic plants that grows in water
but only it’s roots are submerged
underwater.
 Example:
Rice Plants, Mangroves
 Mangroves have the ability to survive in
waterlogged and anoxic (no oxygen) soil.
And the ability to tolerate brackish water.
Some of them have the ability to remove
salt from the brackish estuarine water
through ultra- filtration in their roots.
SUBMERGENT AQUATIC PLANTS
 This are aquatic plants that are
totally submerge /under water.
 Example of Submergent Aquatic
Plants:
Hydrilla, Sea weeds
LET’S SUM -UP:
 Aquatic Plants are plants that have
adapted to living within aquatic
environments. They are also referred
to as hydrophytes. These plants
requires special adaptations for living
submerged in water or at the water’s
surface.
 Aquatic Plants can only grow in water
or in soil that is permanently saturated
with water.
Let’s Answer: A. Tell if the following plants if it
is Terrestrial or Aquatic plants.
_____1. Mango Tree
_____2. Water Lily
_____3. Lotus plant
_____4. Molave
_____5. Pine tree
Let’s Answer: B. Tell if the following statements is
True or False.
_____1. All organisms even plants have body structures that
allows them to adopt to their given environment.
_____2. Aquatic plants are also known as Hydrophytes.
_____3. Emerging Aquatic plants are plants that are totally
submerge under water.
_____4. Rice plant is an example of an aquatic plant.
_____5. Lotus plant is an example of Submergent aquatic plant.

3. Aquatic 3. False
4. Terrestrial 4. True
5. Terrestrial 5. False
