Typha latifolia, commonly known as broadleaf cattail, is a tall wetland plant with long, flat leaves and distinctive brown, cylindrical flower heads that grow along waterways and marshes throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. It plays an important ecological role by providing food and shelter for wildlife, helping filter water in wetland ecosystems, and has been used by humans for centuries in traditional crafts and construction.
