托福分類單字 "Botany" 植物學 (一)

植物學在托福聽力中也不算是常出現的內容，但不能因為不常出現就忽略，雖然托福在聽力的部分在每個學科中不會考太多的專有名詞，但也因為如此會用換句話說的方式來解釋說明相關的學科主題內容，如果本身對於這方面的單字有所了解，就比較容易推敲出聽力的內容，猜也比較好猜，否則毫無頭緒的聆聽會做筆記的很辛苦，因為你必須聆聽完所有內容可能才有辦法理解說話者要表達的內容，這樣處於被動的情況對於考托福聽力不是一個很好的情況。

截取部分網路wiki資料(Aquatic Plant)

Aquatic vascular plants have originated on multiple occasions in different plant families;they can be ferns orangiosperms (including both monocots and dicots). Seaweeds are not vascular plants; rather they are multicellularmarine algae, and therefore are not typically included among aquatic plants. A few aquatic plants are able to survive inbrackish, saline, and salt water. Examples are found in genera such as Thalassia and Zostera. Although most aquatic plants can reproduce by flowering and setting seed, many also have extensive asexual reproduction by means of rhizomes, turions, and fragments in general.

One of the largest aquatic plants in the world is the Amazon water lily; one of the smallest is the minute duckweed. Many small aquatic animals use plants like duckweed for a home, or for protection from predators, but areas with more vegetation are likely to have more predators. Some other familiar examples of aquatic plants might include floating heart,water lily, lotus, and water hyacinth.
