Tundra plants:Tufted Saxifrage


Tufted Saxifrage is a fairly common plant in Alaska. This flower forms small fruit containing many seeds. This helps feed other organisms and help maintain the population of the flower. The Tufted Saxifrage has adapted to the environment. Currently, cool weather is better for the flower. It has adapted by having a really good underground root sysstem. The roots store carbohydrates and nutrients so they can respond quickly to the cold weather.

What do you think would happen to the Tufted Saxifrage didn't have a good underground root system?
