An individual seagrass plant consist of leaves, stem, rhizome and reproductive parts, such as flowers and fruits. A diagrammatic representation of a ‘stylized’ seagrass is shown in Figure 2. Note that this is a composite diagram of many species used to illustrate variation in the same structural features among different species. These features are described in detail under the species descriptions. Figure 2: A diagrammatic and stylized representation of a seagrass structure which is a merge of the three major morphological forms of seagrass found in the Red Sea. This does not represent a single species, but illustrates the characteristics of many species.
