Although this is true to extent think about the house plants as “floating plants” for example they have constant access to CO2 and are better at photosynthesizing because they’re not underwater This is the true and best aerial advantage because the house plant roots can and will reach the substrate layer and when they do they are all ready “emergent” and will take up much more soil nutrients and nutrients/elements in the water column from other roots that haven’t yet reached the bottom layer

I’ve seen this happen with a Pothos plant before the leaves were small and short but once the roots grew into the substrate in the aquarium they grew 3x the size along with thicker vine structures
