论说文
根据下面的材料写一篇论说文,题目自拟,要求700字左右。
南美洲有一种奇特的植物——卷柏。说它奇特,是因为它会走。卷柏生存需要充分的水分,当水分不充足时,它就会自己把根从土壤里拔出来,让整个身躯卷成一个圆球状。由于体轻,只要稍有一点风,它就会随风在地面滚动。一旦滚到水分充足的地方,圆球就会迅速打开,根重新钻到土壤里,暂时安居下来。当水分又一次不充足,住得不称心如意时,它就会继续游走,以寻求更好的生存环境。
难道卷柏不走就不能生存了吗?一位植物学家做了一个实验:用挡板圈出一块空地,把一株卷柏放到空地中水分最充足的地方,不久卷柏便扎根生存下来。几天后,当这里水分减少时,卷柏便拔出根须,准备飘移。但实验者用挡板对其进行严格控制,限制了它游走的可能;结果实验者发现,卷柏又重新扎根生存在那里;而且在几次将根拔出又不能移动的情况下,便再也不动了;并且,卷柏此时的根已经深深扎入泥土,长势比任何时期都好,也许它发现,根扎得越深,水分越充分……
