Aquatic plants typically have soft stems to enhance their buoyancy and flexibility, allowing them to thrive in water environments. The softer structure helps them adapt to varying water currents and conditions, preventing damage from movement. Additionally, softer stems facilitate gas exchange and nutrient absorption, which are essential for their growth and survival in aquatic ecosystems.
