Question

All hydrophilous plants are hydrophytes, but all hydrophytes are not hydrophilous.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

All hydrophilous plants are hydrophytes as they require water in close proximity for pollination to occur. However, in majority of hydrophytes, like water hyacinth and water lily, flowers lie above the level of water and thus are pollinated by insects or wind as in most of the land plants.
