👉 A leechwort is a type of freshwater plant that belongs to the family Aizoaceae. They are small, slender plants with a distinctive leathery or spiny cap. The leaves are usually larger than the stem and can be up to 10 cm long. They have a tough, waxy outer covering that helps protect them from water loss. Leechworts are often found in freshwater habitats such as streams, lakes, and rivers.
