5. Elodea canadensis
Elodea is a plant that lives in fresh water environments.
In many places, elodea has grown so well that it has become a problem in ponds and creeks.

6. Reproduction
Elodea reproduces sexually using tiny white flowers that stick out above the water surface.

7. Asexual Reproduction
Since roots are less of a need in water, elodea stalks can break off and float to new locations where they continue to grow.

8. Providing Habitat & Nutrients
Elodea provides vital habitat and cover for many aquatic fishes, and other creatures
It is a common aquatic plant sold in pet shops.
Ducks, Muskrats, and other creatures feed on elodea.

The cell wall surrounds the cells and provides structure for the plant.
