What does ELODEA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A genus of submerged freshwater plants, commonly called waterweed, often grown in aquariums and used in science classrooms.
Elodea grows entirely underwater, rooted in mud with long stems covered in small, whorled leaves, and it spreads quickly wherever it takes hold in ponds, lakes and slow streams. Because its leaves are thin and nearly transparent, elodea is a classic subject for classroom microscopy, letting students watch the movement of chloroplasts inside a living cell. Several species native to North America have become troublesome invasive weeds after being introduced into ponds and waterways elsewhere in the world.
How ELODEA is used
Used both as a scientific genus name and as an everyday name for the aquarium and pond plant.
