Aquatic plant
Aquatic plants are
plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments (
saltwater or
freshwater). They are also referred to as
hydrophytes or
macrophytes. These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in
water, or at the water's surface. The most common adaptation is
aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common. Aquatic plants can only grow in water or in
soil that is permanently saturated with water. They are therefore a common component of wetlands.
