Text, Questions & Answers

Plants live in all sorts of places, from hot deserts to cold mountains, and even underwater! To survive in these environments, plants have incredible adaptations. Cactus plants have thick, waxy skins to store water in the dry desert. The Venus flytrap, a carnivorous plant, has developed a unique way to get nutrition by trapping insects! Underwater, seaweed has flexible stems to move with the ocean current. These adaptations help plants to live, grow, and make food through a process called photosynthesis. Without these adaptations, plants could not survive in their unique habitats.
