Duckweed is often mistaken for algae because it forms a green layer on the surface of the water. However, duckweed is actually a tiny, free-floating aquatic plant native to many freshwater environments. While it can provide habitat and food for wildlife, excessive growth may reduce sunlight and oxygen levels in the water, making routine monitoring and management important.
