Explanation
Series of biotic communities that develop one after the other in a newly formed pond or lake is called hydrosere. It starts as soon as the muddy water becomes clear. The pioneer stage of hydrosere is plankton stage. Death and decomposition of planktons in the first seral stage of hydrosere produces organic matter which mixes up with clay and silt at the bottom to form soft mud which is favourable for growth of submerged hydrophytes in the next seral stage. Hence, the second stage of hydrosere is occupied by submerged hydrophytes like Vallisneria.
