Watermeal

Watermeal is the world’s smallest flowering plant, also called Wolffia globosa. It is a member of the Lemnaceae family of weeds. The length of the plant is about one millimeter. They also resemble a small, floating plant that is green or yellow-green in color. It lacks a root system. These little blooms each have one pistil and one stamen. These pond, stream, lake, and marsh surface-floating plants are found there.

They might render the ponds undesirable and useless. These plants, which get their nutrients directly from the water, are often found entangled in duckweed or mosquito fern colonies. Thus, a decrease in oxygen may cause stress or death in fish.

They were utilized as a form of camouflage by amphibians, fish, reptiles, and other creatures. The name "utricle" refers to its tiniest fruit. For the creation of inexpensive medications, such as vaccines, genetic engineers change them. Because they contain about 44% protein, people have also exploited these small blooms to create bioplastics. They occasionally utilized them in cold-water aquariums because they are so simple to propagate.
