What does NATANT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botanyheraldry
Swimming or floating in water, especially describing the leaves of aquatic plants.
Natant most often describes plant parts, such as water-lily leaves, that float flat on the surface of the water rather than standing above it or staying submerged. Botanists use the term to distinguish floating leaves from emergent ones that rise into the air. The word also has an older use in heraldry, where a fish shown swimming horizontally across a shield is described as natant. Both uses share the same root idea of moving or resting on or in water.
How NATANT is used
Technical term used mainly in botany for floating leaves, and occasionally in heraldry for a swimming fish.
