Water Plants Name List

Water Plants Name List

Water plants can be classified into two categories: submerged and floating. Submerged plants grow completely underwater, while floating plants grow on the surface of the water. Some common examples of each type include water lilies, hyacinths, and algae.

Submerged plants provide important functions in a pond or lake ecosystem. They can act as a natural filter, cleaning the water as they grow. They also provide food and shelter for fish and other aquatic creatures.
