The document defines aquatic macrophytes as photosynthetic organisms that are visible to the naked eye and grow in or near water. It lists the main types as free floating, floating leaves, emergent, submerged, and marginal. Examples are then provided for many common aquatic macrophyte species, identifying their scientific name and which type they belong to. Over 20 species of free floating, emergent, submerged, and marginal macrophytes are defined.
