Explanation
(d) : Pistia (water lettuce) is a floating aquatic plant. In aquatic plants, roots are generally poorly developed and do not take part in absorption of water. Water is absorbed by the general body surface in these plants. In summary, all four plants have roots that play a role in water absorption, but the importance of roots varies depending on the plant's habitat. Pea, wheat, and sunflower plants are terrestrial plants that rely on their roots for water absorption. Pistia is an aquatic plant that absorbs water through its leaves.
