Solution

The adaptations in aquatic plants are:

(a) Leaves of aquatic plants are narrow and are thin ribbon-like, which allows them to bend in the flowing water.

(b) Stems/stalks of leaves of aquatic plants are long, soft, hollow and light which give them buoyancy and allow them to float on the surface of the water.
