no plants can grow in any zone but the sunlit zone
Sedge is an emergent plant. These types of plants grow in shallow water. Cattails, arrowheads, rushes, and reeds are also emergent plants.
Plants need light to grow, in the abyssal/hadal zone, there is no light.
Sunlight doesn't reaches this zone so no plants are able to grow.
Two plants that grow in the emergent layer of tropical rainforest are kapok trees and giant water lilies. These plants have adapted to the high levels of sunlight and exposure to the elements in the emergent layer, allowing them to thrive in this uppermost canopy level.
This depends on what zone you live in.

well maybe because plants need light to grow...?
Plants can grow in the littoral zone because this area, located along the shores of lakes and rivers, receives ample sunlight and has nutrient-rich sediments. The shallow waters support a variety of aquatic plants, including emergent, floating, and submerged species, which thrive in these conditions. Additionally, the relatively stable water levels and the presence of organic matter provide a suitable habitat for plant growth. Overall, the combination of light, nutrients, and water creates an ideal environment for diverse plant life.
weeds of course
As they are competing for sunlight with the other plants in the other layers. This way they get the most sunlight. But they do have to be very strong, otherwise they would fall over due to how windy it is 45m in the sky. Hope this helps! x
Actually the trees in the emergent layer can grow up to 125 ft which is 38m
The trees in the emergent layers can range from heights 35 to 50 meters.
