aquatic plants
Pond greenery growing
Aquatic plants are plants that grow in water or saturated soil.
Some float freely on the surface, others root in the bottom with leaves above water, and still others remain entirely submerged.
They include water lilies, cattails, and pondweeds.
Aquariums rely on aquatic plants for oxygenation and natural filtration: The tank needs more aquatic plants to keep the water balanced.
