uses of water plants for animals
Aquatic plants provide important living space for small animals such as aquatic insects, snails, and crustaceans, which in turn supply food for fish and waterfowl. Many studies have shown that vegetated areas support many times more of these tiny creatures than do unvegetated areas.tter, beaver, muskrats, turtles, and moose will also graze on a variety of aquatic plants. Historically humans have also utilized aquatic plants as a food source. Cattails have edible shoots and roots and even the pollen has been used in making biscuits.
