Wetland plants are defined as those species normally found growing in wetlands of all kinds, either in or on the water, or where soils are flooded or saturated long enough for anaerobic conditions to develop in the root zone. Wetland plants are often the most conspicuous component of wetland ecosystems. They are also referred to as hydrophytes, macrophytes, and aquatic plants. Wetland plants are, with a few exceptions, angiosperms, or flowering plants. Of the known 250 000 angiosperm species, only about 3–5% are adapted to the wetland environment. Some ferns and fern allies (Pteridophyta), such as floating water fern (Ceratopteris pteridoides), and some gymnosperms, such as bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), tamarack (Larix laricina), and the south Florida slash pine (Pinus elliotti), do grow in wetlands. Peatlands are inhabited by a number of moss species (Bryophyta), notably of the genus, Sphagnum. Most of our discussion here refers to wetland angiosperms.

Although wetland plants are defined by their ability to inhabit wet places, they represent a diverse assemblage of species with different adaptations, ecological tolerances, and life history strategies. Some of the adaptations possessed by wetland plant species are also found in related terrestrial species; however, many attributes are unique, or if shared, have reached a high degree of specialization.
