Plants have adapted to live in different environments. Terrestrial plants that live in hilly areas have adaptations like tall, straight trees with needle-like leaves and cones instead of flowers. Plants in hot, damp areas are evergreen with many leaves to retain water without shedding. Aquatic plants like floating plants protect small water animals from sun with light structures, while fixed plants have broad, stomata-bearing leaves only on top and stems that attach to pond beds. Underwater plants have ribbon-like leaves without stomata and breathe through their bodies. Grass family plants like cereals provide food, while unusual plants like insectivorous plants trap and consume insects.

3. TERRESTRIAL PLANTS

4. HILLY AREAS
• Cold Temperatures
• Tall and Straight Trees
• Needle-like Leaves
• Bearing Cones, instead of Flowers

5. PLAIN AREAS
• Trees have lots of branches
• Can bear the heat
• Shed leaves during winter

6. HOT & DAMP AREAS
• Trees have a lot of leaves
• Evergreen throughout the year
• Do not shed leaves during winter

7. DESERTS MARSHY AREAS
• Have spines instead of leaves
• Spines prevent loss of water
• Green fleshy stem, contains chlorophyll,
makes food
• Soil is sticky and clayey
• Roots grow out of water and soil to
breathe

8. AQUATIC PLANTS

9. FLOATING PLANTS
• Float on water
• Light or small in size
• Protect small water animals from heat of
sun

10. FIXED PLANTS
• Fixed to the bed of pond
• Leaves are broad and have stomata only on
upper side
• The stem is attached to the bed, which
holds the plant together

11. UNDERWATER PLANTS
• Plants that remain underwater
• Long, ribbon like, narrow leaves
• Leaves arise in clusters from roots, & have
no stomata
• Breathe through body surface
• Remove CO2 breathed out by aquatic
animals
• Put in aquariums

12. GRASS FAMILY

13. CEREAL PLANTS
• Provide food for humans and animals

14. BAMBOO PAPYRUS

15. UNUSUAL PLANTS

16. INSECTIVOROUS
• Plants that eat animals (insects)
• The insect is trapped and consumed by the
plant
