Microplastics have emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants, posing significant risks to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Current remediation strategies-including physical, chemical, microbial methods-are inadequate for large-scale, in situ removal of microplastics, highlighting the urgent need alternative solutions. Phytoremediation, an eco-friendly cost-effective technology, holds promise addressing these challenges, though its application microplastic pollution remains underexplored. Here we show capacity Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), a fast-growing, floating plant, remove microplastics from contaminated water. Our results that within 48 h, water hyacinth achieved efficiencies 55.3 %, 69.1 68.8 % 0.5, 1, 2 μm polystyrene particles, respectively, with root adsorption identified primary mechanism. Fluorescence microscopy revealed extremely large abundant caps, featuring total surface area exceeding 150,000 mm2 per serve principal sites entrapment microplastics. Furthermore, unique "vascular ring" structure stem prevents translocation aerial tissues, safeguarding leaves potential downstream applications. This study offers first microstructural insight into mechanisms underpinning hyacinth's exceptional resilience, providing promising framework developing phytoremediation strategies mitigate ecosystems.
