[quote="fishbro001"]Whats the difference between cattails and reeds, shouldn't it be the same thing?
well tecnically cattail is an kind of reed, but cattail has soft"leavy" stemms, whereas true reed, has hard"wooden" ones, also cattail has become an rare sight these days, and grows in patches, while an reedbelt can and will span an entire river or lakeside, and has to be either decimated or cleared regualry, many species of fish and bird use the reedbelt as shelter from bigger predetors, like in warmer reagions mangrove roots,
