Definition
A long, narrow water plant with leaves that resemble eels, found in shallow marine and brackish waters.
Etymology
Compound of 'eel' and 'grass' (Old English 'græs'). Named for its elongated, eel-like leaf structure; the plant is scientifically known as Zostera marina.
Kelly Says
Eelgrass creates entire underwater ecosystems and produces more oxygen per acre than a rainforest, yet it's named for looking like eels—a reminder that common names often miss what's truly important about a species.
