The Okeefonokee Swamp in Georgia is a marsh. I'm sorry I'm not sure of the correct spelling.

A marsh is a wetland area that remains wet at least half of the year. Typically a marsh does not have very deep water. In the deepest marshes, floating plants with some leaves submerged, take the place of algae or duckweed. The typical marsh plant has roots that grow into the ground and underwater, and its stem rises above the water. The most familiar plant is the cattail.
In Illinois, marshes abound in many different areas. Some are found in the kettleholes left behind from the receding glaciers. Others can be found in the shallower water edges of lakes and streams or along river banks. Along the edges of Lake Michigan's shoreline some marshes form in the swales between the beach ridges.
