 Aquatic plants square measure plants that have custom-made to living in aquatic environments (saltwater or freshwater). They’re conjointly observed as hydrophytes or macrophytes to tell apart them from alga and alternative microphytes. A macrophyte may be a plant that grows in or close to water and is emerging, submergent, or floating. In lakes and rivers macrophytes offer protect fish, substrate for aquatic invertebrates, turn out chemical element, and act as food for a few fish and life. Macrophytes square measure primary producers and square measure the premise of the organic phenomenon for several organisms. They need a major result on soil chemistry and lightweight levels as they hamper the flow of water and capture pollutants and entice sediments. Excess sediment can settle into the benthos assisted by the reduction of flow rates caused by the presence of plant stems, leaves and roots. Some plants have the potential of fascinating pollutants into their tissue. Seaweeds square measure cellular marine alga and, though their ecological impact is comparable to alternative larger water plants, they're not generally observed as macrophytes. Due to their underwater environment, aquatic plants have limited access to carbon and experience reduced light levels. Aquatic plants have DBLs (diffusive boundary layers) that vary based on the leaves' thickness and density. DBLs are the main factor responsible for the lack of carbon fixation in aquatic plants. Due to this reduced ability to collect nutrients, aquatic plants have adapted various mechanisms to maximize absorption.
