Swamp vegetation typically includes a variety of water-loving plants such as cypress trees, mangroves, and willows, which thrive in wet, saturated soils. Understory plants may include ferns, sedges, and various grasses, while herbaceous plants like cattails and bulrushes are common in the waterlogged areas. These plants play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing habitat, stabilizing soil, and improving water quality. Overall, swamp vegetation is adapted to survive in conditions of standing water and fluctuating moisture levels.
