Eel-grass

Eel-grass comprises marine seagrass species, thriving in salty underwater environments across the globe. Characterized by their long, ribbon-like leaves, eel-grass employs a unique mechanism by anchoring themselves with rhizome roots to the soft seabed. These adaptations not only stabilize the plants but also facilitate nutrient absorption in the nutrient-poor aquatic substrate.
