Question

In Amphibious plants or emergent hydrophytes stomata remain always open throughout day and night, i.e. Equisetum type. How the rate of transpiration and absorption is maintained??

Answer 1

Dear Student,
The hydrophytes perform transpiration and absorption. In aquatic plants water is in excess, so water enters the plant through osmosis. There is continuous loss of water from stomata and therefore transpiration is continuous in hydrophytes.

Regards.
