Hornwort

Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) is a perennial aquatic plant native to regions including Alabama, Alaska, and Albania. Known for its light, floating leaves that resemble tiny green horns, it thrives in wet environments with soil types ranging from sandy to clay, and prefers a pH between 6 and 8.6. This hardy plant can grow up to 1 meter tall and is widely distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Hornwort is edible; its leaves are often used as a food source in various parts of the world where it grows naturally.
