A plant adapted to living in water, especially one with horn-like or feathery foliage, such as aquatic ferns.
From Greek 'keras' (horn) + 'phyte' (plant), naming plants for their characteristic horn-shaped leaves and aquatic nature.
These plants are nature's water filters—ceratophytes are so effective at cleaning water that sewage treatment facilities have studied them as natural purification systems.
