👉 Pelagophytes are a group of plants that are characterized by their flattened or curved leaves, which often have small teeth-like structures called spines at the end of each leaf. These spines are used for protection and anchoring the plant against predators or competitors. Pelagophytes also possess a unique adaptation known as the "pelage," which is a series of tiny hairs that line their leaves to protect them from insect bites and other stimuli.
