Water Plants Ms. Edwina

Pondweed Pondweed grows completely submerged in shallow water. It is rooted on the bottom. It provides shelter and food for a whole host of minibeasts such as tadpoles. They have slender stems and small spikes of inconspicuous flowers appearing above the water. 

Duckweed Duckweed, also known as water lentil, is the smallest flowering plant in the world. The plant consists of a short stem floating vertically in the water and occasionally a  flower. This type of plant may have no roots or just a simple single root.

Reeds This is often referred to as tall grass. They occur in reed beds. They are all suited to wet habitats.
