Which term describes plants that are adapted to grow in wet conditions?

The term "hydrophytic vegetation" specifically refers to plants that are adapted to live in wetland environments or areas that are regularly saturated with water. These plants have developed unique adaptations that enable them to thrive in conditions where they are either submerged or frequently in contact with waterlogged soils. Characteristics of hydrophytic vegetation may include specialized root structures, stems that can store oxygen, and leaves that can float or resist water.

While "hydric vegetation" also pertains to plants found in wet conditions, it is broader and does not specifically encapsulate the adaptations unique to those plants. "Salt-tolerant vegetation" pertains to plants that can endure saline conditions, which is not the same as wet conditions. "Aquatic plants" typically refers to plants that live in water but does not account for those that may grow in saturated soils as is the case with hydrophytic vegetation. Thus, hydrophytic vegetation is the most precise term to describe plants that are particularly adapted to thrive in wet conditions.
