How are Marsh grasses adapted to survive in saltwater?

Marsh grasses, such as salt marsh cordgrass, have specialized adaptations to thrive in saltwater environments. They possess salt-excreting glands that help remove excess salt from their tissues, allowing them to maintain osmotic balance. Additionally, their extensive root systems stabilize sediment and facilitate nutrient uptake, while their flexible stems can withstand strong tidal currents. These adaptations enable marsh grasses to survive and flourish in saline coastal ecosystems.
