Submerged Aquatic Weeds

Submerged aquatic weeds grow below the water’s surface, whether attached to substrate or not. Submerged plants have a tendency to protrude the water’s surface during different times of the year, often confusing them with emergent aquatic plants. A key difference is in the water depth and positioning of growth. Submerged aquatic plants have a tendency to grow in deeper waters, away from the edge.
