It grows in shallow water and the edges of streams and lakes.[3]
Uses
In Korea, it is known as Wanggol (왕골) and is grown and has been grown as a crop in all regions.[4] It is cultivated in rice fields.[4]
The inside of the stem is made up of colorless cells with large spaces between them, making the stem very elastic. The stems are split and dried to make seats, cushions, and hats, while the inside is dried to make shoes, baskets, and ropes. The leaves are also used for making paper.[4]
