Water Plants

Water plants, also known as aquatic plants, are plants that grow in or around water environments like ponds, lakes, rivers, and wetlands. They can be submerged, floating on the surface, or rooted in the soil underwater. These plants play vital roles in ecosystems by providing oxygen, offering habitat for aquatic creatures, filtering water to improve quality, and stabilizing shorelines. Examples include water lilies, cattails, and eelgrass. They are essential for maintaining healthy aquatic habitats and supporting biodiversity, and some species are cultivated for ornamental purposes in water gardens.
