Living in or adapted to marshy, swampy, or wetland environments.
From Greek 'helos' (marsh or swamp) + 'bios' (life). The term was developed by 19th-century botanists and zoologists to classify organisms specifically adapted to wetland habitats.
Helobious plants and animals have evolved amazing tricks to survive in waterlogged, oxygen-poor soil—like water lilies with special air-filled tissues and dragonfly nymphs with specialized gills that can extract oxygen from murky water.
