Read the investment pattern
Compare the measured traits rather than inferring habitat from one number. A plant producing many rooting stolons invests heavily in vegetative/asexual reproduction; a plant producing more seeds and nectar invests more in sexual reproduction and pollinator attraction.
OlympIQ exam lens
- ✓More stolon biomass signals greater vegetative reproduction.
- ✓More seeds and nectar indicate greater sexual-reproduction investment.
OlympIQ trap
Use the table’s measured allocation; do not assume every high-growth trait means the same reproductive strategy.
