About lotus plant.?
Did you know that a lotus has roots, stems, leaves, and seeds?


The roots of the lotus plant are well fixed in the mud or soil of the pond or any other small water body and the large broad green leaves (which goes up to 90 cm in diameter) of the plant are seen to float at the water surface. The thick stems or stalk holds the leaves and the beautiful lotus flower above the surface of the water.
