b. Aquatic invasive species One of the risks of invasive aquatic and wetland plants is that their populations grow enormously year after year with no limits, causing ecosystems to become unstable. Wetlands can get overgrown with invasive plant species to the point where native birds no longer choose to live there. Invasive plant species pose a threat to freshwater supplies. Aquatic and wetland plants compete for sunshine, nutrients, and water with invasive aquatic and wetland plants. They are generally more aggressive than their native equivalents in getting these nutrients and consuming them, leaving little for native plants. As a result, a biologically diversified plant ecosystem has given way to a monoculture of one invading species. Aquatic invasive plants are modified structurally to live in water. They have been categorized further based on their location in the aqueous environment. These categories are floating, emergent, and submerged. Floating weeds are plants that rest upon the water surface, and their roots hang freely on the water or sometimes attach to the bottom of shallow ponds or streams. Emergent species are plants that grow in natural marshlands and can be found around the shorelines of ponds and in the littoral zone of lakes.
