Biology Question on Kingdom Plant
Which of the following is known as `resurrection plant??

Rafflesia
B
Selaginella
C
Chlorella
D
Welwitschia
Answer
Selaginella
Explanation
Solution
A small group of xerophytic species,e.g., Selaginella lepidophylla and S. pilifera, are cespitose in habit and when dry they coil closely together their rosette like shoots, by a cohesion mechanism, to form a balllike structure and quickly unroll into a graceful green plant when moisture is readily available. Such plants are sold as curiosities under the name of "resurrection plants".
