D

Answer

Explanation
Solution
Due to the availability of water in plenty, roots, the principal organs of water absorption, in such plants become of less significance. In aquatic plants or hydrophytes, roots caps are absent and root pockets are present. E.g., in Eichhornia, root caps are replaced by root pockets. So the correct answer is 'Hydrophytes'.
