What is a submerged plant?
submerged plants is plant which completely submerged in the water with their roots in the bottom mud.
Is duckweed partially submerge or fully submerged?
No, it is a floating plant, i know you might argue that the roots are underwater while the leaves are above but actually that counts as a floating plant, or else water hyacinth and water lettuce are half-submerged too. Floating plants is a plant that has it's leaves above water and it's roots dangling in water, partially submerged is leaves above water but roots in the soil below water, completely submerged is the roots in the soil below and the leaves also below water surface. -LJTG
Is the cabomba plant a fully submerged plant?
No, Cabomba is a partially-submerged plant. It is rooted in soil at the bottom of the pond with its leaves, flowers, fruits on or above the surface of the water.
What were the original plants grown using hydroponics?
water is essential for every plant. so, no plant will be grow without water,thus the original plants grown using hydroponics,
Can you plant seeds without soil?
Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro water and ponos labor) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, or mineral wool. Researchers discovered in the 19th century that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water. In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plant's water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with hydroponics. Hydroponics is also a standard technique in biology research and teaching.
Is a cabomba a water plant?
Yes! It is completely submerged in water.
Is water hyacinth a submerged plant?
Yes, check out the link for a picture, as well as more information about this plant
What is the difference between hydroponics and aquaponics?
Hydroponics is plants growing in water. Aquaponics is taking it one step further; a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, plants and fish together. The plant roots take nutrition from the water with the fish.
Why holes are put in a plant pot?
The holes are there to drain off excess water. If the planter doesn't have holes in the bottom, it acts as a pail, pooling water at the bottom. This makes the plant roots wet all the time. The roots of most plants can rot if submerged in water all the time. This can kill the plant, as would not enough water. In hydroponics, they grow the plant in pea gravel and have the nutrition spray on a continuous off/on/off cycle. Growing plants this way allows them to control the quantities of the nutrients being fed to the plants. This also allows the plants' roots to dry out some during the feeding cycle, which is healthy for the plant; if not allowed to dry too much.
What do roots do to a plant?
The roots supply nutrients and water to the plant.
Is water moss a partially submerged plant?
Yes
What part of the plant absorb water for photosynthesis?
The roots of a plant.
