Solution

Disclaimer: This section involves the process of one’s own observation and gathering information. Considering the sustenance of this process, sample answers have been provided for some of the given questions. These answers will aid the students in framing their thoughts and observations.

When the water gets stagnant for a very long time, the algae start growing in them. This water also contains tiny creatures that cannot be seen by the simple eyes.

Algae can also be seen on walls, buildings and pipelines which are continuously in contact with water.

When the water is stagnant for a long period, then other plants start to grow on its periphery, these plants are not planted by anyone but they grow by themselves when their seeds get settled at such places.
