Assertion (A) : Most aquatic plants, including water hyacinth and water lily, are pollinated by insects or wind.
Reason (R) : Water hyacinth and water hyacinth Lily blossoms are immersed in water and release pollen grains into it.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Water is not used by all aquatic plants for pollination. The flowers of the majority of aquatic plants emerge above the water's surface and are pollinated by insects or wind, like in land plants, such as water hyacinth and lily. Hence assertion is true. Water hyacinth and water lily flowers are not immersed in water and do not release pollen grains into it, hence they are not pollinated by water. Hence reason is false.Therefore option C is correct.
