Synonyms for the term Family Lemnaceae include the duckweed family, water lens family, and seedbox family. These plants are often regarded as weeds, but they can be beneficial to aquatic ecosystems as they provide habitats for smaller organisms and can help remove excess nutrients from the water. Despite their small size, duckweeds have been studied for their potential use in wastewater treatment and as a source of biofuel.
