The term lentic (from the Latin lentus, meaning slow or motionless), refers to standing waters such as lakes and ponds (lacustrine), or swamps and marshes (paludal), while lotic (from the Latin lotus, meaning washing), refers to running water (fluvial or fluviatile) habitats such as rivers and streams.
Lentic systems usually do not have a source, as they form in places where the groundwater reaches the earth’s surface. Sometimes, water will stay on the earth’s surface due to the saturation of the underlying land. Some lakes and ponds are created by humans for commercial and recreational use.
Animals and plants in a lentic system behave and adapt differently because there are various zones of every lentic system with different abiotic conditions
