Hydrophytes
A plant that has adapted itself to living in a very wet, swampy or aquatic places is called a hydrophyte. Examples of hydrophytes include water lily, mangroves, fresh and salt water marshes, buttonbush and seaweed.
The ecological niche of a hydrophyte is that it lives in a place that always has an abundance of water. Hydrophytes adapt their leaf shape, waxy cuticle, stomata, stem and roots in order to maintain and balance water in the plant.
Hydrophytes can obtain nutrients from the water around them, as healthy water usually has enough nutrients dissolved in it.
