What is Emergent plant ?

• Emergent plants are also known as shoreline and wetland plants.

• Emergent plants are rooted in the lake bottom, but their leaves and stems extend out of the water.

Structures of emergent plant

- rooted with stiff or firm stems.

- stand above the water surface.

- the leaves of these plants have spongy tissues and packed with air spaces.

- their shoots and roots serve as the overwintering buds of the plants during cold weather.

- generally rigid, and are not dependent on water for support.

Emergent plants receive most or all of their vegetation above water surface or on the shoreline. You will often see emergent plants in shallow areas and along the banks in your lakes, ponds, rivers, and ditches. Many emergent plants are not considered fully aquatic since they do not need water for survival. Emergent plants can live for long periods of time being submerged in water or water-logged soils.
