Manatee gras (Cymodoceaceae)

Manatee gras

Manatee gras are unique marine flowering plants adapted to underwater life in shallow seas. They exhibit slender, creeping rhizomes and ribbon-like leaves, which effectively capture sunlight and nutrients. Their growth near sea beds in calm, clear waters reflects their need for light, crucial for their photosynthesis and survival in a competitive underwater environment.
