What does duckweed mean?
A small, free-floating aquatic plant that grows in dense mats on the surface of ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. It is often considered a nuisance due to its ability to form dense mats that can choke out other aquatic plants.
Example
"The duckweed on the pond was so thick that it was difficult to see the water beneath."
