What is plasticity? Give examples.

(N/A) Plasticity is the ability of plants to follow different pathways in response to the environment or phases of life,resulting in the formation of different kinds of structures. This phenomenon is known as plasticity.
Examples of plasticity:
$1$. Heterophylly in plants like cotton,coriander,and larkspur: In these plants,the leaves of the juvenile plant are different in shape from those in mature plants.
$2$. Environmental heterophylly in buttercup: The difference in the shapes of leaves produced in air versus those produced in water represents heterophyllous development due to the environment.
These examples demonstrate how plants adapt their morphology based on their life stage or environmental conditions.
