Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wetlands are characterized by being wet for at least part of the year, which allows them to support plant and animal life adapted to these conditions. They are not necessarily wet all year round, can have either fresh or salty water, and their defining feature is not the amount of rainfall they receive but their saturation level at certain times.
