Eli5: if house plants die from too much water, how does plants like seaweed survive?
In: 0
seaweed and houseplants are different because they live in different environments. Seaweed lives in the water, so it can take in a lot of water easily because it’s surrounded by it. It also has special structures that help it absorb water.
On the other hand, houseplants live on land, where there is not as much water around them. They have roots that absorb water from the soil, but they can only take in a limited amount at a time. They also need to balance how much water they take in, so they don’t get too much or too little. That’s why houseplants need to be watered regularly by us humans to make sure they stay healthy.
So, seaweed can take in a lot of water because it lives in the water, while houseplants have to be a bit more careful with how much water they get because they live on land.
