a plant that grows partly or wholly in water whether rooted in the mud, as a lotus, or floating without anchorage, as the water hyacinth
Any macrophyte that grows in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content; plants typically found in wet habitats.
any plant that grows in water or in soil that is at least periodically anaerobic as a result of saturation; plants typically found in wet habitats.
A plant or animal that can, and often must, live in water.
free-floating water plant
a plant growing in water or on a substrate that at least periodically is deficient in oxygen due to excessive water content.
"water-loving;" generally refers to plants that are adapted to growing in wet environments.
A plant that grows wholly or partly submerged in water.
A perennial vascular aquatic plant having its overwintering buds under water; a plant growing in water or in soil too waterlogged for most plants to survive.
is a type of plant which requires a particularly large amount of water
A hydrophyte is a plant that grows in water or in water-logged soil. Hydrophytes have a reduced root system, reduced support and vascular systems, and specialized leaves. Some hydrophytic plants include waterliles and Wolffia (which is the smallest flowering plant). Anchored hydrophytes have a rooting system that is embedded in the soil and they often have floating leaves. (Compare with mesophytes and xerophytes.)
A vascular plant that requires an abundance of water for growth; a plant growing in water or soils too waterlogged for most other plants to survive.
Plant typically found in wet areas or in water with periodic oxygen deficiencies.
