- It is planted in reed-bed systems that clean wastewater, because it tolerates polluted water.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
