(1) Exodermis with Casparian bands was found in roots of hydrophytic , mesophytic and xerophytic species and in members of primitive as well as advanced families.(2) Several researchers have shown that this is not the case, that hydrophytes in submerged soils can develop substantial mycorrhizal infection.(3) Emergents are the most studied of hydrophytes and probably the most useful to man.(4) A floristic inventory of phanerogamic hydrophytes from the temporary swampy environments of coastal plains of northern of Rio de Janeiro State was made.(5) Particularly where shallow drainage channels dissect the terrain, more hydrophytic species can occur in lower microsites and less hydrophytic species in higher places all within the same stand.(6) The plants that are adapted for living in these habitats are called xerophytes, mesophytes, and hydrophytes , respectively.(7) Drained hydric soils that are now incapable of supporting hydrophytes because of a change in water regime are not considered wetlands by our definition.
