A hydrophilly is a plant adaptation that allows it to reproduce in an aquatic medium. This means that the plant can preform pollination out of water as well as when it is completely submerged. This adaptation is generally unique to marine plants in intertidal zones, the area of the ocean that is underwater during high tides and out of water during low tides.

What are the characteristics of a hydrophilly flower?
Pollen grains are released inside water. They are long, ribbon like... they are protected from wetting by a mucilaginous covering. Eg: The flowers of seagrass
What are the adaptations of surf grass?
They are adapted to life in a saline medium. Osmoregulation is achieved by specialized epidermal cells and the leaves have no need for stomates, as opposed to terrestrial plants, because all of the gas-exchange is accomplished through the epidermis.Sea grasses have the ability to grow when completely submerged.Surf grass have a successful anchoring system to withstand tidal currents and moderate wave action.Sea grasses are able to reproduce in an aquatic medium. This adaptation called hydrophilly, which is unique to aquatic plants, allows the surf grass to perform both surface and completely submerged pollination.
