Swamp is a type of wetland where trees and woody plants grow in standing or slow-moving water. The ground is often wet and covered with water for long periods. Swamps can be found in different climates and may include a mix of plants and animals. Some swamps have tall trees rising above the water.

Swamps are found in tropical and temperate regions around the world. They exist in areas with slow-moving or still water. Swamps support diverse plant and animal life. Many species live in and depend on these environments.
