Aquatic plants do not have woody tissue for support

The support system for aquatic plants (2)

Obtain the support from the water buoyancy force

The support system for aquatic plants (3)

Have stems and leaves that have aerenchyma tissues

Aerenchyma tissue in aquatic plants

The aerenchyma tissue in aquatic plants consists of thin-walled cells, form air spaces in the aquatic plants

Support system of aquatic plants (4)

The buoyancy of aquatic plants is aided by the air spaces in aerenchyma tissue

The support system of aquatic plants (6)

For some aquatic plants, the plant swells and have hollow and big stems toincrease buoyancy like water hyacinth and lotus
