Lab 2: Common Silverweed

The phylogeny of the common silverweed begins at eukaryotes, then plants, eudicots, pentapetalae, the rose family, potenilleae and finally the genus of argentina or potentilla.
One adaptation of the common silverweed is that it grows in cracks in the rocks and has thick roots to keep itself safe from predatory beaks. It can also spread rapidly due to its roots as they curve toward the ground and find a moist spot, forming an upright stem, resulting in a separate plant.
Both trees and plants have adapted to withstand the cold weather. Some trees lose their leaves to manage the lack water, while plants will keep their leaves to insulate themselves.
