most probably, the weight of lotus must much smaller than its width or lets just say volume. and here buoyancy place an important role.
If lotus leaves do not have a waxy coating, they would not be able to repel water effectively, leading to waterlogging. This would make it difficult for the leaves to float on water and would increase the risk of disease and damage.
Water lilies have round, flat leaves that float on the water's surface, while lotus plants have leaves that are more upright and held above the water. Additionally, water lilies bloom with flowers that float on the water, while lotus flowers are held above the water on tall stalks.
No, lotus flowers grow separately from lily pads. Lotus flowers emerge from the water on tall stems, while lily pads float on the surface of the water and are part of the plant structure of water lilies.
A lotus plant adapts itself to live in water by developing leaves and stems that waxy in texture and essentially "hydrophobic." Lotus plants have achieved the hydrophobic effect.
Buoyant means able to float. Adjective.
They are too top heavy to be able to float upright or upside down, if you filled it with water a bit, then it will start to be able to float easier.
Aquatic plants like water hyacinth and lotus float on water primarily due to their specialized structures, including air-filled cavities in their stems and leaves, which provide buoyancy. These adaptations allow them to remain on the water's surface, maximizing their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, their broad, flat leaves help distribute their weight evenly, further enhancing their ability to float.
coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density (; hope this helps you out! coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density.
Wood floats in water.
I have a marker which float in water.
The unique structure of lotus leaves, with tiny bumps and a layer of wax that repels water, helps them stay buoyant on the surface of the water. This allows them to trap air pockets beneath the leaves, providing buoyancy and creating a cushion of air that keeps them afloat.
It is lighter than water.
