Solution
The correct option is A Nymphaea
- Hydrophytes generally have a reduced presence of roots, or they can be entirely absent from the plant in general. The main function of hydrophytic roots is for anchorage in the water, not for the absorption of water as leaves can absorb water through osmosis.
- Nymphaea (Water Lilly) is an example of a rooted hydrophyte. Water Lillies are rooted in soil in water bodies for anchorage, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface.
- Hydrilla, Salvinia, and Wolffia have little to no root.
- So the correct option is A.
