Solution
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called plasticity. Example heterophylly in cotton, coriander and larkspur. In such plants, the leaves of the juvenile plant are different in shape from those in mature plants. Maize plants do not show plasticity.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
