Hydrophyte

Hydrophyte

A Hydrophyte are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments. Aquatic 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. 

Examples of hydrophyte are :- Equisetum fluviatile, Glyceria maxima, Hippuris vulgaris, Sagittaria, Carex etc...
