Hydrophytic plant adaptations

 

buttressed trunks | aerenchyma tissue | shallow roots | fluted trunks | adventitious roots
inflated stems | floating leaves | knees | polymorphic leaves | stooling | hypertrophied lenticels

 
  Hypertrophied lenticels
Some plants produce enlarged lenticels on their stems. These are thought to increase oxygen uptake during times of soil saturation.
