Answer 1

Explanation:

South Carolina has a diverse community of plants, which entirely or at least partially float on the water's surface. Although many floating plants are extremely attractive and are a large part of the water gardening industry, they often create serious problems when introduced into stormwater ponds.

Floating plants can be divided into three categories...

Free Floating -

These plants float freely on the water surface. The entire plant is suspended on the water, allowing the plant to be moved around the pond by wind and water currents. Plants such as duckweed, mosquito fern, waterhyacinth, and watermeal are free floating.

Submersed Floating-leaved -

These plants are anchored by roots to the bottom of the pond, but their leaves and flowers grow to and float on the water surface. Plants such as waterlilies, lotus, watershield, and spatterdock are floating-leaved plants.

Trailing Floating -

These plants are rooted into the shallow areas nearest the bank and have a "trailing" or "creeping" growth habit which allows them to form floating mats that extend out over the water surface. Plants such as waterprimrose, alligatorweed, pennywort (dollarweed), parrot-feather, and smartweed form trailing floating mats.
