A bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material. A marsh is a type of wetland, featuring grasses, rushes, reeds, typhas, sedges, cat tails, and other herbaceous plants (possibly with low-growing woody plants) in a context of shallow water. A marsh is different from a swamp, which has a greater proportion of open water surface, which is generally deeper than a marsh A bog can be referred to as a swamp while a marsh technically can not. Also the acidic waters of a bog distinguish it as being different than a marsh.
