To ensure that the plant is bouyant and floats on or near the surface of the water.
The air spaces also allow more gas exchange/ or diffusion for the plant to get the needed air that isn't as available in the water.

Plants that have air-filled spaces in their tissues are likely to be?
Aquatic plants.
How the air spaces found in the stalk help the water hyacinth help to obtain light?
Aquatic plants need light too and water hyacinths are aquatic plants. They have air spaces inside them which help them to float freely in the water.
Where does the carbon dioxide needed by aquatic plants come from?
It comes from the air. The CO2 in the air dissolves in the water and is then avilalbe to aquatic plants.
How do aquatic plants get carbon?
the air is constantly getting in and out of the water.
Do air plants have stems and roots or are they just one big leaf?
No.
Which part of the water hyacinth help it to float?
Leaf petiole
What do the aquatic plants need to make their own food?
They need air, water, and sunlight.
What are facts aquatic plants?
One: they live in water instead of land like regular plants Two: they don't need air
What are some adaptations for a lilypad?
a. The underwater stems are flexible so that the pads can float around b. They have air spaces in their stem so that they can "breathe"
How do drown?
plants drown because their roots have mitochrondia (in them which supply the plant with energy to survive) that need air which they take from the air spaces in the soil. If there are no air spaces the plant cannot obtain oxygen and they 'drown'.
What makes a kang kong plant float in the water?
Kang kong plants, also known as water spinach, have air-filled hollow stems that provide buoyancy and allow them to float in the water. The air pockets in the stems keep the plant afloat, allowing it to grow and survive in aquatic environments. This floating adaptation helps the plant access sunlight and nutrients in the water for photosynthesis and growth.
How does co2 in the air pass into plants?
By diffusion through stomata in land plants and in aquatic plantsthrough free plant surface in the disolved form in water.
