Root system in hydrophytes is

Solution
The correct option is B Partially Developed
Because hydrophtes are supported by water rather than by roots and stem structures, most hydrophtes as a result have roots that are small and feathery. These are designed to take in oxygen from the water, and since the plant is fully submersed in water at all times, there is less need for a long and thick root structure. One plant that has a feathery root is the Salvinia Molesta, which is a free-floating aquatic fern.
So, the correct option is 'Partially developed'.
