An area of land that is periodically underwater

Real World Example

Imagine trying to manage a closet that sometimes gets flooded with clothes during certain seasons, making it difficult to access everything inside. This is similar to how a wetland operates, where land is periodically submerged underwater, affecting the accessibility and usability of the area. Just as the inundation of clothing in your closet can change how you interact with the space, the periodic flooding in a wetland alters the ecosystem, influencing which plants and animals thrive and how nutrients are cycled.
