Nymphaeaceae is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on or emergent from the surface. In comparison, leaves of the lotus plant rise above the water.
