What is the nature of Phumdi in Loktak Lake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Floating vegetation islands

The direct answer is A: Floating vegetation islands. Phumdi are unusual floating masses found in Loktak Lake in Manipur. They are made mainly of a mixture of vegetation, soil, organic matter and partly decomposed plant material. Because these masses are buoyant, they float on the lake surface. Some phumdi are large enough to support plants, animals and human activity; Keibul Lamjao National Park is famously located on such floating formations. Option A is correct because it describes their floating, plant-rich nature. Option B is wrong because sandy dunes are wind-made landforms, generally found in dry regions, not floating lake vegetation. Option C is wrong because coral reefs are marine or coastal limestone structures formed by coral organisms. Option D is wrong because glacial moraines are deposits left by glaciers. Memory cue: Loktak is in Manipur; its floating phumdi are its special feature.
