Can plants grow in salt water?

Answer 1

Some seeds (mangrove and coconut) can. But in most cases the presence of salt causes moisture in a plant to come out of the plant (by osmosis) and this means that the seed/plant can not grow in a salty environment unless it has special adaptations for dealing with salt.

Answer 2

no they can l8ive in salt water becuaes

A large number of plants grow as mangroves near sea shore and a good number inside the sea as kelp and several other forms. Sea water is best example of salt water.

Answer 3

Most plants cannot survive in salt water because it can cause dehydration and disrupt the balance of nutrients in the plant's cells. However, there are some plants, like mangroves and seagrasses, that have adapted to tolerate or even thrive in salty environments.

Answer 4

some can, some can't. depends on how salt tolerant the plant is.

Answer 5

The reason that plants don't grow with salt water is because salt suck out all the liquid in the plant causing the plant structure to collapse.

Answer 6

Most plants cannot survive in salty water, however, some plants thrive on it. An example of a saltwater plant is a marine seagrass.

Answer 7

the salt stops diffusion in the cells so the plants can not get water. the salt condenses on the plants and they eventually die. one type of plants called halophytes can survive it.

Answer 8

No. Not all the plants can grow in seline water. Only Mangrove plants & sea-weeds can grow. For example, Rhizophora, Avisenia.
