What plants grow in or around rivers/creeks?

Question

I am doing a report on flowing water ecosystems. I am making a food web, showing all of the food chains of the biome. I need to know spcific plants that grow around or in rivers.

Answer 1

Creek-bank plants are often very different from the surrounding vegetation. Seeds washed downstream take root in places where they would not normally grow. Vine forest or rainforest often fringes creeks, even in dry places.

Many plants, such as paperbarks and bottlebrushes, grow partly in the water while casuarinas grown nearby.
