[edit] Unwikified material

I found this on the article below the stub and, since it's disorganized and looks like someone's class notes, moved it here until someone who knows plants can deal with it.

• Terrestrial: plants rooted in soil or mud along an edge or bank of freshwater
• Terrestrial: The air will not hold up plant structures in the way water does. It doesn’t get enough water.
• Types of Terrestrial plants: elodea
• Terrestrial plants often develop deep root systems for the uptake of water and nutrients; stems are usually rigid because of the development of scleretized cells in the tissues; the leaves contain a cuticle and thickness which prevents water loss. A waxy coating may also exist on the surface of the cuticle which gives a bloom to stems. They can be armed in various ways such as sharp thorns, spines or prickles to prevent grazing.
