(a) Aquatic ecosystems are rich in diversity. The life inside water is largely influenced by various abiotic factors. The abiotic factors are the chemical and physical components of an environment that affect the organisms living there. The primary abiotic factors that affect the life underwater are temperature, light and availability of oxygen.
(b) Oxygen available to the aquatic organisms is a detrimental factor. If less oxygen is available underwater aquatic animals will not be able to respire and die.
Light is also an important abiotic factor for underwater organisms especially for the aquatic plants. the aquatic plants underwater will not be able to make their food by photosynthesis if proper light is not available.
Temperature also plays an important role. Too low or too high temperature affects the metabolic activities of the organisms.
Depth of water body affects the availability of light and oxygen to the aquatic organisms. Shallow water bodies have light available to more aquatic organisms.

A.)Well–developed vascular system
Vascular plants help maintain the water cycle. The property of these plants
enables them to carry out this function is their well-developed vascular system.
These type of plants are more evolved and developed than nonvascular plants
because of its specialized characteristics like xylem, which is a tissue that
is responsible for its framework and not only that, it is also has a greater mechanism
for water transference. Another is phloem, which is responsible for food
conduction.
Soil creation is a result of carrying out successions. Succession is the process in which land that is inhabitable by organisms is reclaimed and made fertile. This is done using pioneer species, which do not require soil to grow. After a while, these species are removed and a secondary succession is carried out. After this process, soil is created and the land becomes fertile.
