Answer:

Two plant groups you could look at are land-based plants and water-based plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Land-based plants:

Land-based plants are plants that can be found on land. They tend to be taller in order to absorb as much sunlight as possible. Land-based plants often have roots that are rooted in soil, and take in water and nutrients from there. Land-based plants taken in oxygen and carbon dioxide directly from the atmospheric air around them. In terms of the location of their stomata, stomata can be found on the underside of leaves, where they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Water-based plants:

Water-based plants can be found either submerged or floating on water. They tend to be broader instead of taller. For instance, their leaves will be broader in order to absorb maximum sunlight. This is because (especially for completely submerged water plants), light does not penetrate as deeply into water, leaving the plant with less light energy to photosynthesize. Water-based plants often have roots that either dig into the soil if they are found at the ocean floor, or hang freely in the water if they float on water surfaces. Unlike land-based plants, water plants, especially those that are fully submerged, take in dissolved carbon dioxide and oxygen gas in the water instead of from the air and atmosphere. The stomata of water-based plants are often found on the upper side of their leaves, in order to have better access to atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide.
