Took quiz on animals and their habitats.
I am a beautiful plant that lives in a pond or a lake, where my big, round leaves float on the water's surface.
My leaves have a special, waxy, shiny coat that makes water drop right off them, like a raincoat!
What plant am I, and why do my leaves have this special coat?
A Lotus plant
With special, waxy leaves are an adaptation that helps you live in the water. The waxy coat keeps water from sitting on top of your leaves, so they can get all the sunlight they need to make food. It also keeps your leaves from getting too heavy and sinking!
