Violetspine
Violetspines are found in an environment that is more dominated by oxygen. They are able to absorb a mediocre amount of oxygen from both the water and the air. In the environment they grow, water is known to either slightly drop or rise around the outskirts of the water bodies inside the moor. Violetspines deal with the upcoming winter by letting their upper frond to be reabsorbed, which decreases their height and lets them stay below the water level. Violetspine no longer has the weakness against running or fluctuating water, which is attributed to the more rigid region within their frond. This region is what gives the violetspine its name.
Underground, the bottom part of violetspine has become slightly wider and is able to anchor the violetspine more efficiently to the ground. The organism takes advantage of that, storing most of its sugars within the bottom part. When a violetspine has reached a certain age, its bottom part slowly breaks apart which allows the water to pull the violetspine out without much resistance. Once the violetspine is out of the ground, it continues breaking apart from the bottom and these pieces get carried away by the water, eventually settling down and growing into new violetspines. Each of the piece must contain some of the rhizoids of the original violetspine. If two of these pieces end up connecting together with rhizoids during this stage, then, after settling down, they grow faster than the other violetspines. Near the drier slopes and edges of the moor, the low tide in the biome is more prevalent, therefore violetspine retains its layer of powdery wax as an osmoregulator.
The bottom part of the violetspine contains more flavor than the frond above them, since it's the main storage room in the whole organism. As a result, it is more often the food of species that seek to avoid the competition over the sweeter tasting violetmellows.
