👉 Elateriospermeae are a group of organisms that primarily inhabit aquatic environments, specifically freshwater bodies. They have a complex, multi-facetted life cycle, with some species capable of forming sessile (floating) forms during periods of water scarcity or when conditions are unfavorable for their natural habitat. These sessile forms are typically found in stagnant waters, such as rivers and lakes, where they can survive without the need for a living organism to provide food.
