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 aquatic 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. The principal factor controlling the distribution of aquatic plants is the depth and duration of flooding. However, other factors may also control their distribution and abundance, including nutrients, disturbance from waves, grazing, and salinity. Aquatic vascular plants have originated on multiple occasions in different plant families; they can be ferns or angiosperms. Seaweeds are not vascular plants; rather they are multicellular marine algae, and therefore are not typically included among aquatic plants. A few aquatic plants are able to survive in brackish, saline, and salt water. Examples are found in genera such as Thalassia and Zostera. Although most aquatic plants can reproduce by flowering and setting seed, many also have extensive asexual reproduction by means of rhizomes, turions, and fragments in general. One of the largest aquatic plants in the world is the Amazon water lily; one of the smallest is the minute duckweed. Some other familiar examples of aquatic plants might include floating heart, water lily, lotus and water hyacinth. Some aquatic plants are used by humans as a food source. Examples include wild rice, water caltrop, Chinese water chestnut, Indian lotus, water spinach and watercress
