marsh plants

Bog flora types

Plants that grow in marshes—wetland areas characterized by standing water and soft, waterlogged soil.

Marsh plants are typically adapted to saturated conditions: cattails, reeds, sedges, and rushes are common examples.

The marsh plants along the riverbank provided habitat for nesting birds.
