Description
Cattail, (genus Typha ), genus of about 30 species of tall reedy marsh plants (family Typhaceae), found mainly in temperate and cold regions of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The plants inhabit fresh to slightly brackish waters and are considered aquatic or semi-aquatic. Cattails are important to wildlife, and many species are also cultivated ornamentally as pond plants and for dried-flower arrangements.
Cattail plays important role in the wild. It serves as source of food and shelter for various birds and mammals. Cattail is occasionally classified as weed due to ability to quickly conquer new habitats and prevent development of native species of plants. People use cattail as a source of food, medicine and building materials.
