TERRESTRIAL PLANTSTERRESTRIAL PLANTSTERRESTRIAL PLANTS
Plants that grow on land are called terrestrial plants. They are of various kinds
depending upon the kind of soil and climate they grow in.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF TERRESTRIAL PLANTS

Coniferous Trees

± We see them in cold and hilly places.
± They have needle-like leaves.

± Instead of flowers these trees bear cone.

± The pine, fir, spruce and cedar are some such
trees. Fir tree

± Their (conical) slim and slanting shape makes snow slide off easily.

± As they do not shed their leaves in winter, they are also called evergreen
trees.

Mangrove Trees
± These plants grow in the marshy areas near

the seashore (hot and damp places). These
plants are adapted to live in the soil that is

soaked in water.

± These plants have roots that grow above
the soil. Since, the soil is full of water, the

Kendalia plant roots do not get air to breathe.
± Roots send special parts to the soil surface to breathe. They are called

breathing roots.
± Some examples are cariops and kendalia .

Evergreen Trees

± These plants have leaves that remain green
almost all year round and are called evergreen

trees.
± Some examples are coconut tree , rubber tree and

fields of cotton and rice near the coastal areas.

± These plants need plenty of water and sunlight.
