Aquatic ferns

Aquatic ferns are a type of fern that thrive in water or very wet environments. Unlike typical ferns found on land, these plants are adapted to living partially or fully submerged. They have unique features such as floating leaves and specialized structures to help them stay buoyant. Common examples include the water fern and the floating fern. Aquatic ferns play important roles in their ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife, improving water quality by absorbing nutrients, and preventing erosion. They are fascinating plants that showcase the diversity of life in aquatic habitats.
