Aquatic

Aquatic refers to the state of life where organisms grow, reside, or actively live in aquatic environments. Such organisms are systematically classified as important components of freshwater ecosystems in biology. Their habitats primarily include terrestrial water bodies (such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds) and special water bodies (such as salt lakes, marshes, and hot springs). The aquatic environment fosters a rich and diverse community of microorganisms, encompassing aquatic animals and plants, as well as fungi, viruses, and bacteria.
