    This document discusses plant habitats and adaptations. It defines habitat as the surroundings where organisms live. Plants are found in habitats like mountains, deserts, forests, and water bodies. Based on their habitat, plants are classified as aquatic or terrestrial. Aquatic plants are further divided into floating, fixed, and underwater plants. The document provides the example of water lily as a floating plant and describes two adaptations of floating plants - having a spongy body filled with air to float and a root system not fixed to the bottom of the water body. It assigns students homework on habitats, adaptations, and the classifications and adaptations of floating plants.

    The key takeaways from the passage are that habitat is the natural environment where organisms live and obtain resources for survival. Plants live in different habitats like deserts, mountains, forests and water. Plant adaptations help them survive in their specific habitats. Plants are broadly classified as aquatic plants that live in water and terrestrial plants that live on land.

    The different types of plant habitats discussed are deserts, mountains, forests and water. Specific examples given are pine trees in mountains, cacti in deserts and water lilies in water.

    Plants are broadly classified into aquatic plants that live in water and terrestrial plants that live on land. Aquatic plants are further classified into floating plants, fixed plants and underwater plants.

    HABITATS
    HABITAT

    The surroundings where organisms live


    is called a habitat.
    The organisms depend for their food,
    water, air, shelter and other needs on
    their habitat.
    Plant Habitats
    Plants live in all kinds of environment.
    They are found in the following places:
    In high mountains covered with
    snow— Example Pine Tree
    In sandy deserts.

    cactus
    On dry rocks

    Lichens
    • In water
    Water Lilly
    Desert

    Mountains

    Forest

    Water
    Are the
    examples of
    habitat.
    Plant Adaptations

    Are Special features


    developed by a plant to live
    in a particular place or habitat.
    Based on their habitat, plants are
    broadly classified as follows:

    Aquatic plants(plants living in water)

    Terrestrial plants(plants living on land)


    Aquatic Plants
    Plants that grow in water are called aquatic plants or
    hydrophytes. There are three types of aquatic plants:

    floating plants fixed plants


    under water plants
    FLOATING PLANTS
    * Floating plants are plants that float on the
    surface of water and move along with the
    water current(flow of water) are called floating
    plants.
    * Examples: water hyacinth
    ADAPTATIONS
    1.Floating plants have a spongy body with hollow spaces
    filled with air. This feature helps them to float easily on the
    surface of water.
    2.The root system of floating plants is
    not fixed to the bottom of the water
    body.
    3 The leaves of floating plants have stomata on the
    upper surface for easy exchange of gases.
    RECAP
    HABITAT -The surroundings where organisms live is called a habitat.
    Examples of habitat.
    Desert, Mountains, Forest,
    Water
    Plant Adaptations-
    Are Special features developed by a plant to live in a particular place or
    habitat.

    ADAPTATIONS OF FLOATING PLANTS- a spongy body with hollow spaces


    filled with air.
    Root system is not fixed to the bottom of the water body.
    The leaves of floating plants have stomata on the upper surface
    ASSIGNMENT
    * Write down three examples of habitat?
    * Differentiate between adaptation and habitat
    ❖ What are they called?
    (i) Plants that live on land.
    (ii) Water plants
    ❖ Write two adaptation of floating plants
