Answer:

Rivers often start from the mountain streams and contain high amounts of oxygen. Rivers and streams grow larger as these waters merge. Rivers pick up sediments from the land as they flow. Lakes support many varieties of organisms, including plants in shallow, open water and wetlands. In shallow water near shore, plankton is covered in water all or some of the time and are found along the edge of lakes and the floodplains of rivers. A deer is nibbling moss on rocks beside a river. Rivers are a major source of water for a variety of animals and plants.
