Solution

The correct option is D

Hydrilla.


The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Plants that are fixed to the soil underwater and submerged are called submerged plants.
  2. The root is not well developed as the plants are completely submerged in water.
  3. The stem is thin, soft, and spongy.
  4. Leaves are thin, narrow, and small so that water can easily flow without damaging them. For example, Hydrilla.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Xerophytes are the plants that live on land in dry and hot climates having scarcity of water (as in a desert) like cacti, babul, agave, Acacia, and terrestrial plants.

Final answer: Hydrilla is an odd one out.
