floating plants
Water lilies, duckweed
Floating plants are aquatic vegetation that lives on or near the water's surface rather than rooting in soil beneath.
Some, like duckweed and water hyacinth, float freely with roots dangling in the water; others, like water lilies, are anchored to the bottom but send leaves up to float.
They provide shade, reduce algae growth, and offer habitat for fish and insects in ponds and aquariums.
