What plants grow in moist environments so they can absorb water and nutrients by osmosis and diffusion?

Plants that thrive in moist environments, such as wetlands and swamps, include species like cattails, ferns, and water lilies. These plants typically have adaptations such as large, broad leaves to maximize surface area for water absorption and specialized root systems that enhance nutrient uptake. Additionally, many of these plants possess aerenchyma tissue, which facilitates gas exchange and allows them to thrive in saturated soils. This enables them to effectively absorb water and nutrients through osmosis and diffusion.
