Question

In water lily, stomata are present in the ___________.

• A. lower surface of the leaf
• B. both upper and lower surfaces of the leaf
• C. upper surface of the leaf
• D. stem of the plant

Answer 1

The correct option is C upper surface of the leaf

Stomata are tiny openings on the leaf which allow diffusion of gases. Usually, stomata are present more abundantly on the lower surface when compared to the upper surface of leaf. In water lily, since the lower surface of leaves are in direct contact with water, stomata are present only on the upper surface of the leaves that are exposed to air.
