Discover the underwater world of Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum), a submerged aquatic plant that provides a vital habitat for various aquatic species. In this thriving ecosystem, observe a Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) male in breeding condition, surrounded by the plant's soft, branched fronds. This ancient aquatic plant, depicted in antique botany illustrations such as Curtis British Entomology Plate 730 and Victorian Botanical Illustrations, is also home to sessile rotifers and various other microorganisms. The smooth hornwort (Phaeoceros laevis) adds to the diverse underwater landscape. Hornwort's rigid structure offers shelter and protection for juvenile fish, such as roach and perch, which can be seen thriving among its branches. This aquatic flower's importance in aquatic ecosystems is evident in the vibrant life it supports.
