They have cellular adaptations that make it possible for them to get the chemicals they need underwater. Besides trace nutrients that they obtain from soil around their roots, the main needs of a plant is water (H2O, which they are surrounded by) and carbon dioxide (CO2, which readily dissolves in water). The biggest issue for underwater plants is light, so the deeper and less clear the water, the more challenging it is for plant life to exist.
Certain plants (such as underwater ones) can survive being flooded in water. Plants can survive underwater because the sun's rays can penetrate water.
Some examples of plants that produce seeds capable of germinating underwater include water lilies, water chestnuts, and water milfoils. These plants have adapted to survive and reproduce in aquatic environments through specialized structures that protect the seeds and enable successful germination underwater.
If a baby is born underwater using the birthing method known as "Water birth" (a method of giving birth, which involves immersion in warm water.) it can survive underwater momentarily until you take it out of the water and takes its first breath. This is not to say that a baby born in water becomes capable of extended survival underwater like mythical mermaid.
Underwater plants take oxygen from the water. They do not breathe the same way that plants above water do. Above water plants have oxygen in the soil and air.
Without sunlight, plants can not survive.
Plants that can survive underwater have adaptations such as thin leaves to allow for efficient gas exchange, specialized tissue to transport oxygen and nutrients, and the ability to perform photosynthesis using low light levels. Some plants also have the ability to store oxygen in special structures to help them survive in oxygen-depleted water.
Some underwater plants have protective layers between their saltwater environment and the water in their internal cells. Even so, an underwater plant is very unlikely to survive where there is insufficient water.
Yes, plants underwater do need sunlight to survive. Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. Without sunlight, underwater plants would not be able to produce the energy they need to grow and carry out other essential functions.

Yes, some snails can survive underwater by breathing through their skin or using a special breathing tube.
They absorb carbon dioxide from the water - and release oxygen. This keeps the water's oxygen level safe for the fish to survive.
no
Yes they can.
Monkeys cannot survive underwater, they'd need gills like fish. Since they have lungs they could only survive underwater for a short period of time.
No, bamboo cannot grow underwater as it requires air to survive and grow.
Snails cannot breathe underwater. They need air to survive as they have lungs or gills to take in oxygen from the air.
