Morphological characters of hydrophytes are:

  • Hydrophytes are living in the water, so the root system is poorly developed.
  • Roots are mainly adventitious.
  • Root caps are absent; in place of it root pockets are present.
  • Stems are long, slender and flexible.
  • Leaves are long and ribbon or linear shaped.
  • Free floating leaves are large and covered by waxy coating on the upper surface.
