Pond plants are aquatic plants that grow in or near ponds. The most common type of pond plant is ALGAE, which is a five-letter word. ALGAE are a type of photosynthetic organism that can be found in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They are typically green in color and can range from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular forms. ALGAE are important for providing oxygen to the water and food for fish and other aquatic animals.
