Which property of water makes aquatic environments thermally stable?

Identify one importance of cohesion for animals and for plants.

• Surface tension creates habitats for pond-skaters and other invertebrates.

• Floating ice insulates water beneath it.

• Water enters plant roots by osmosis.

• As water molecules evaporate from leaves, they pull other water molecules up from the roots during transpiration.
