        floating
        
        float freely on the surface of the water (e.g. duckweed, water lettuce)
        
        partially submerged
        
        rooted to the soil at the bottom of the pond but leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are on/above the surface of the water (e.g. water lily, arrowhead)
        
        totally submerged
        
        rooted to the soil at the bottom of the pond (e.g. hydrilla, elodea)
      - animals
        
        near the pond (e.g. bird, frog)
        
        on the pond surface (e.g. pond skater, water boatman)
        
        in the pond (e.g fish, tadpole)
      - fungi
        
        some fungi grows on fallen leaves on the banks of the pond (e.g. bracket fungus, toadstool)
      - microorganisms
        
        algae are usually found just beneath the surface of the water while amoebae are found in the pond water (e.g. algae, amoebae)
    - - earthworms, ants, snails, millipedes and grasshoppers feed on the leaf litter by breaking it down into smaller pieces so it is easier for fungi and bacteria to grow on and are eaten by other animals
      - beetles feed on leaf litter/microorganisms and small insects but are eaten by the lizard and snake populations
      - centipedes feed on the millipede population
      - spiders and lizards feed on other animal populations (e.g. earthworms, ants, grasshoppers)
      - fungi and bacteria feed on leaf litter by digesting it as they grow on it and make the leaf litter softer and easier for some animals to eat
