Semi aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living in water or wetland environments. They are not fully aquatic and can live in both submerged and terrestrial habitats, but they prefer moist soils. These plants often have specialized structures such as modified leaves, stems, and roots that allow them to survive in wet conditions. Examples include Cattails (Typha latifolia), Water Lilies (Nymphaea), and Duckweeds (Lemna species). In addition to providing habitat for animals, semi-aquatic plants also help control erosion by stabilizing shorelines with their root systems and adding oxygen to the water through photosynthesis. Semi-aquatic plants may be used as ornamental features of ponds or other water features due to their attractive foliage and flowers.
