aquatic plant
Grows in water
An aquatic plant is a plant that grows in water—rooted in pond bottoms, floating on surfaces, or submerged entirely.
Water lilies, duckweed, and kelp are aquatic plants.
The term covers freshwater and marine species.
Aquariums and water gardens rely on aquatic plants for oxygenation and aesthetics.
