wetland plants

Bog flora species

Plants adapted to saturated or waterlogged soils, found in marshes, swamps, bogs, and along shorelines.

Wetland plants have evolved features like hollow stems for oxygen transport, floating leaves, or specialized roots that tolerate standing water.

Common examples include cattails, sedges, and water lilies.

They stabilize shorelines, filter pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat.
