Answer / john mathew
Swamps are wetlands characterized by the presence of TREES
growing on silty to organic muck soils. They usually occur
along RIVER floodplains and in poorly drained basins.
Swamps are often inundated seasonally, or remain
continually flooded.
On the other hand, marshes are treeless wetland where lush
growths of herbaceous plants (eg, GRASSES, SEDGES, reeds
and CATTAILS) predominate.
An area having a wet, spongy, acidic substrate composed
chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic
shrubs and herbs and sometimes trees usually grow is called
bog.

A bog contains standing water- there are no inlets or
outflows. Dead plant material accumulates and decays,
causing the water to be acidic. Bogs are very poor in
nutrients.
Marshes are shallow wetlands with slowly flowing water.
They're dominated by non-woody plants, like cattails, which
grow in the mud underwater and stick out above the water's
surface.
In swamps, most of the plants are large trees that have
adapted to living in water. In very basic terms, swamps are
flooded forests. Our beautiful red or swamp maples thrive
in these wetlands.
