Wetlands are unique ecosystems characterized by the presence of water, either permanently or seasonally, which creates saturated soil conditions. They support specialized plants and wildlife adapted to these waterlogged environments, including diverse flora such as cattails and sedges. Additionally, wetlands play a crucial role in water filtration, flood control, and carbon storage, differentiating them from other terrestrial ecosystems. Their biodiversity and ecological functions make them vital for environmental health and resilience.
