What does MARSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
An area of low, wet land, often flooded, that is covered with grasses and other soft-stemmed plants.
A marsh forms where water sits close to the surface for long periods, whether along a coastline, a riverbank, or a shallow inland basin, allowing reeds, rushes, and grasses to thrive instead of trees. Marshes support a wide range of wildlife, including wading birds, fish, and insects, and they help filter water and absorb floodwater from nearby rivers or the sea. The term is often distinguished from a swamp, which typically has woody plants and trees rather than mostly grassy vegetation.
