What is the immature form of an aquatic hemimetabolous insect?

A nymph. You might mean dragon/damselflies, their larvae look a bit like them but without wings and with larger mouthparts. Damselfly larvae have feathery gills at their tail end.

What adaptation do insects have?

I am not sure what you mean. Insects adapt to their environment in a variety of ways. Some adapt by their coloration-- for example, certain insects, like the walking stick, are brownish in color so they can blend in with trees and not be seen by predators. Other insects like ladybugs adapt by how they taste; because ladybugs are bitter-tasting, predators that see them often do not want to eat them. Other insects adapt to their environment with the ability to trap prey despite being small in size (like spiders trapping prey with a slender and very sticky web).
