Wolffia has flowers despite having no roots
Wolffia plants float like small specks and have no roots. Their rarely seen flowers arise in a cavity on the upper surface, with a stamen and a pistil. A flowering plant need not resemble the familiar upright stem-and-leaf form.
The small speck still has a flower’s equipment.
