Best Answer

depends on the plant; most plants that are adapted to land are not able to grow in the water. water plays an important function for those plants to grow in the water- sometimes serving as mechanism for reproduction, absorption of nutrients, and as a stuctural support to hold up the plant, etc. See the link: look at the structures and read the key characteristics of the plant groups. There is a gradual shift in plants evidencing the evolutionary path from water to land and the characteristics that make certain plants more suitable for specific environments.
