As the name suggests, these plants float on the water, rather than being anchored in soil. Each plant has a well-developed root system that directly removes nutrients and minerals from the water. This in turn fertilizes the plants. Floaters also shade the water and deprive algae of necessary sunlight. Most floating plants are vigorous and rapid growers, and will require regular thinning out.
 
Examples include:
 
Azolla
Duckweed
Frogbit
