The emergent stems provide places on which dragonflies and damselflies can land and up which their larvae can crawl before their transformation into adults. The plants leaves and roots will also provide shade and shelter for many other small aquatic invertebrates. A closely related species is Myriophyllum aquaticum, known as parrot's feather, from South America, is causing havoc to native wildlife. So, make sure you get the right species.
