What is the niche of a water lily?

Answer 1

The leaves and stems of lilly pads that are submerged are flexible, so that they can move with the underwater currents. They also have air spaces in their stems to support them when under water. Lilly pads lack a strong water transport system; instead water and nutrients are absorbed directly through the leaves. The roots are reduced or not even there, because the roots are only needed to anchor the plant in the water. The seeds lilly pads produce can float and the chlorophyll is only on the top of the leaves.

Answer 2

The niche of a water lily is as an aquatic plant that typically grows in shallow water, where their floating leaves receive ample sunlight for photosynthesis. Water lilies provide habitat and food for aquatic organisms and help oxygenate the water. They play a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of freshwater ecosystems.
