  2. Fogponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogponics

    Fogponics uses a suspension of nutrient enriched water to deliver nutrients and oxygen to plant roots. This is in contrast to geoponics and organoponics which use soil and organic materials as the primary source of nutrients (as well as the growth medium), and 'traditional' hydroponics , which uses a submersion of nutrient enriched water as the ...

  3. Tillandsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillandsia

    Now the plant can absorb more light. When the sun dries the plants, they turn white. Thanks to this special survival trick, plants without roots can absorb fog droplets as well as rainwater and thus cover their water needs. [18] More than one-third of a tropical forest's vascular plants are epiphytes which species of Tillandsia are part of.

    Lechenaultia divaricata. A tumbleweed is a structural part of the above-ground anatomy of a number of species of plants.It is a diaspore that, once mature and dry, detaches from its root or stem and rolls due to the force of the wind.

  6. Bryophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryophyte

    While bryophytes have no truly vascularized tissue, they do have organs that are specialized for transport of water and other specific functions, analogous for example to the functions of leaves and stems in vascular land plants. [46] Bryophytes depend on water for reproduction and survival.

  7. Xerophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerophyte

    Plants absorb water from the soil, which then evaporates from their shoots and leaves; this process is known as transpiration.If placed in a dry environment, a typical mesophytic plant would evaporate water faster than the rate of water uptake from the soil, leading to wilting and even death.

  8. Rhizoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizoid

    In water or near it, plants could absorb water from their surroundings, with no need for any special absorbing organ or tissue. Additionally, in the primitive states of plant development, tissue differentiation and division of labor were minimal, thus specialized water-absorbing tissue was not required.

  9. Absorption of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_of_water

    Absorption of water-Plants generally absorb capillary water from the soil through their roots. The diffusion pressure deficit in a cell of a leaf is developed because of transpiration then water from the adjacent cell moves towards the cell in the same way diffusion pressure deficit is developed in the second cell and water moves to it from the ...
