Question

Floral parts are un-wettable in case of hydrophilous flowers.

Hint:

Common examples of hydrophilous plants include {Vallisneria}, {Hydrilla}, and {Zostera} (sea grass).

Answer 1

Step 1: Hydrophilous flowers are those that are pollinated by water.
Step 2: To protect the floral parts and pollen grains from damage due to constant water exposure, they are covered with a mucilaginous coating.
Step 3: This waxy/mucilaginous layer makes the floral parts un-wettable, ensuring that the pollen remains viable and light enough to be carried by water currents.
