Some plants, like water hyacinth, float in water. They have special types of leaves that help them to stay afloat.
The plants which live in water are aquatic plants.
Aquatic plants need light too and water hyacinths are aquatic plants. They have air spaces inside them which help them to float freely in the water.
The plants that grow in water are called aquatic plants. for e.g. Lotus, Water hyacinth, Water Lily etc.
aquatic plants such has aquatic grasses and water lillies ;)
aquatic plants live in water because they cannot survive on land

Aquatic plants grow in water.
There are three distinct groups of aquatic plants. The totally submerged plants such as marine kelp are consider true aquatic plants. There are plants like Duckworth that float on the surface of the water or water lilies that are rooted but their leaves float on the surface. The last group are only partially submerged like reeds, they are the most similar to the total land based plants.
Land plants require soil, sunlight, water and different nutrients to grow. Aquatic plants require the minerals and nutrients from in the water to grow.

Aquatic plants help to oxygenate the water - replacing the oxygen that's used by the fish - and the decaying fish waste.
Plant parts are swollen in many cases due to storage of food. In some aquatic plants, some plant parts like leaf petiole are swollen due to air chambers so that these plants can float in water.
