How do plants adapt to different environments?

Transcript

Plants adapt to their environments through various adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce. For instance, cacti have thick, waxy skin and fleshy stems to store water in arid climates, while Bristlecone pines have shallow roots to maximize water uptake in harsh conditions. Aquatic plants like water lilies have broad leaves that float to catch sunlight, while epiphytes, which grow on other plants, absorb moisture from the air. These adaptations can be structural, behavioral, or physiological, helping plants thrive in diverse ecosystems.
