Water Plants

Plant Name Height Environment Special Adaptations
Early Plants

Smotaid

Microscopic

Open Ocean

It has a special "shell-like" cell wall made of silica that makes it resistant to harmful UV rays from Luminous.

Aggregation of Smotaids

Microscopic

Open Ocean

Individual Smotaids aggregate but do not connect.  One can appreciate the variety of Smotaids in the aggregate form.
Primitive multi-cellular Plants

Rafenimirafo

3 centimeters

Most live in sand attached to other organisms.

They have pore studded cell walls.  These pores contain grains from calcium carbonate shells.
Plants in different environments

Shallow Rocky Shore

Aflafla

Up to 6 feet

The eastern coast of Penancea has a stretch of about 5 miles of gradual slopes that can reach depths of up to 600 feet.

Its strong hold fast structure can withstand strong water currents.
Mud Flats

Psilo

Up to 2 feet

Psilos dominate the moist soil, swampy bogs, and mudflats.  These plants support themselves upright by developing some rudimentary vascular tubes which also act as channels for the nutrients to travel from the roots to the rest of the plant.  These plants do not have leaves.  Photosynthesis happens throughout the plant's structure except for the roots.  Hint: if it's green=it could do photosynthesis

To survive saturation by saltwater, many plants concentrate the salt in sections that later break off or excrete salt through glands.  Some plants drifted so far inland that they evolved to use fresh water from the rain.

Open Ocean

Eusmotaid

Microscopic

Varied water temperature. Extremely versatile. Found throughout Euseus and Capripous oceans.

It has a special "shell-like" cell wall made of silica that makes it resistant to harmful UV rays from Luminous.
