1. Aquatic or terrestrial

The Victoria amazonica plant is an aquatic plant, which can be seen from the family it belongs to. The plant belongs to the Nymphaeaceae family, also known as lotus, which is an aquatic plant we are more familiar with, so the plant is aquatic.

2. How much weight can it bear?

Normally, the maximum bearing capacity of the plant is about 70KG, which means that there will be no problem for an adult man to sit on it carefully. Perhaps the weight it bears will be greater or smaller than this, which depends on the health and size of the plant.

3. Why can it bear weight?

1. This is because there is a large space inside the leaves and veins of the plant, and there is a lot of gas in these spaces. In this way, the leaves can float steadily on the water without sinking. This is an important reason why the leaves can float steadily on the water.

2. The leaf veins of this plant are quite thick. Not only are they strong, but the staggered structure is also very stable. It is enough to support the plant and even part of the weight placed on it. Moreover, the staggered small squares can also help the plant to carry loads and drain water.
