pondweed definition of pondweed in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

pondweed, common name for the family Potamogetonaceae, and for weedy aquatic herbs of the genus Potamogeton, of which about 50 known species inhabit North American ponds and slow streams. They have slender stems and small spikes of inconspicuous flowers appearing above the water. A few species are cultivated—some as waterfowl food and for fish protection in conservation projects. The saltwater eelgrass (genus Zostera) of gently sloping shores is closely related. Pondweeds are classified in the division Magnoliophyta Magnoliophyta , division of the plant kingdom consisting of those organisms commonly called the flowering plants, or angiosperms. The angiosperms have leaves, stems, and roots, and vascular, or conducting, tissue (xylem and phloem).

A pond turns marsh, turns meadow in no time flat: silting in, not drowning all the windblown seed that falls, letting the alder and pussy willow take root, parching the pondweeds, deporting the turtles, the snails that cling to the lily pads' undersides, and the waterbirds that ate them.
