What was the adaptation of hydrophytic plants and animals?

Animal Adaptations Many plants and animals have adapted to the freshwater biome and could not survive in water having a higher salt concentration. read more

Some unique adaptations of such organisms are as follows: The arctic and Antarctic regions, which contain polar ice, possess unique biota dominated by algae, bacteria, diatoms, and other organisms like protozoa, copepods, amphipods, nematodes, flatworms, and ice fish. read more

Plants found in very cold and icy conditions are also xerophytes as the water in the ground is frozen and not available to them. 3. Adaptations • A thick waxy cuticle- In most plants some water can be lost by transpiration through the cuticle, however a thick and waxy cuticle helps minimise water loss, therefore reducing the transpiration rate in the leaf. read more
