Adaptations

Plants have adaptations that allow them to survive in different habitats and places. There are three main types of adaptations: behavioral, physiological, and structural. These adaptations cause plants in different areas, like deserts and oceans, to look very different from one another. Plants need adaptations to suit the climate conditions and obtain resources like food, water, air, and soil in order to survive and grow. Certain plants are adapted to thrive in environments like deserts, hills, plains, or marshes depending on factors like temperature and moisture levels.

Adaptations are the special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular
place or habitat. These adaptations help them to survive i.e. to live and grow in
different areas. These adaptations make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a
different place. This is the reason why certain plants are found in one area, but not in
another.

There are three different types of adaptations: Behavioral, Physiological and Structural.
Behavioral means variation in responses made by plants. Structural means variation in
features of plants. And Physiological means variation in body process. All these
variations are there for their survival.

To suit the surroundings, plants growing in different places differ in their looks too.
That is why Dessert plants look very different from plants that live near the ocean or in
the mountains.

To survive and grow, Plants need food, water, air with right climate and surroundings
and right type of soil.

Based on climate conditions, plants are categorized as Terrestrial and Aquatic.


Terrestrial plants are further classified as plants in Desserts, plants in hills, plants in
plains and plants in marshy areas.

For example, trees like Banyan, Peepal and Mango grow in warm and dry climate while
trees like Teak, Tamarind, Coconut, Tea, Coffee, and sugarcane grow in Hot and wet
climate.

Some of the trees in plains are evergreen and some are deciduous means they shed their
leaves in dry season to avoid water loss.
Thus, plants have different adaptations with different climate conditions for their
growth and survival.
