Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) adapt to their environment through several mechanisms. They thrive in nutrient-rich, disturbed soils, often found in areas like forests and along riverbanks. Their distinctive stinging hairs, which contain irritating chemicals, deter herbivores and provide a defense against grazing, while their ability to grow quickly allows them to capitalize on available sunlight and resources. Additionally, their deep root systems help them access water and nutrients efficiently, enhancing their survival in varying conditions.
