The cord humgrove replaced its ancestor. It only has one major root to hold it in the ground, the portion of that root that is in the water is soft and bendy so that it doesn't have to fight against the river current. Since they only have one root they are able to grow more closely together and out compete any other aquatic flora, this results in large areas of the Ovi River edge to be packed with cord humgrove. Since the ones further away from the river bank are pushed around by the current their lower leaves act as a form of raft or shield to keep water off of their single main photosynthetic leaf and to keep it afloat. At the leaf base is also a collection of tiny carbon-dioxide bladders to also help it stay at the surface. The leaf is shaped the way it is so that it will flap and whip around in the wind along with its humming noise so as to scare off herbivores through both sound and sight.
