  2. Hydrophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophile

    Schedorhinotermes termites use hydrophilic surfaces on body and wings to attach themselves to plants they colonize. A hydrophile is a molecule or other molecular entity that is attracted to water molecules and tends to be dissolved by water. [1] In contrast, hydrophobes are not attracted to water and may seem to be repelled by it.

  3. Hydrophily - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophily

    Vallisneria spiralis is an example of hydrophily. Female flowers reach the water's surface temporarily to ensure pollination. Hydrophily is a fairly uncommon form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by the flow of waters, particularly in rivers and streams.

  4. Xerophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerophyte

    With the onset of rainfall, the plant seeds germinate, quickly grow to maturity, flower, and set seed, i.e., the entire life cycle is completed before the soil dries out again. Most of these plants are small, roundish, dense shrubs represented by species of Papilionaceae , some inconspicuous Compositae , a few Zygophyllaceae and some grasses.

  5. Sodium polyacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_polyacrylate

    In the agricultural industry, sodium polyacrylate is used to help plants retain moisture in the soil. [13] It can act as a water reservoir for plants and is commonly used by florists to keep flowers fresh. Furthermore, the use of sodium polyacrylate for growing domestic fruit and vegetables has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

  6. Mucilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucilage

    These microorganisms include protists which use it for their locomotion, with the direction of their movement always opposite to that of the secretion of mucilage. [1] It is a polar glycoprotein and an exopolysaccharide. Mucilage in plants plays a role in the storage of water and food, seed germination, and thickening membranes

  7. Quassia amara - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quassia_amara

    Trunk wood, roots, bark, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds are harvested to gain extracts of the plant. For its beauty, quassia is also grown as ornamental plant. [4] Quassia amara is marketed and used interchangeably with another tree species Picrasma excelsa, sharing the common name of quassia (and many of Quassia amara's constituents and uses).

  8. Mesophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesophyte

    Mesophytes are intermediate in water use and needs. These plants are found in average conditions of temperature and moisture and grow in soil that has no water logging. The roots of mesophytes are well developed, branched and provided with a root cap. The shoot system is well organised. The stem is generally aerial, branched, straight, thick ...

  9. Lotus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_effect

    Some plants show contact angles up to 160° and are called ultrahydrophobic, meaning that only 2–3% of the surface of a droplet (of typical size) is in contact. Plants with a double structured surface like the lotus can reach a contact angle of 170°, whereby the droplet's contact area is only 0.6%. All this leads to a self-cleaning effect.
