Chapter 29, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The several structural features that help vascular plants in maintaining stable internal water content.
Introduction: The plants which live on land today are originally evolved from plants which lived in water. These land plants have developed many adaptations that help them to obtain minerals from the soil and help in maintaining stable internal water content.
