Answer: False

Explanation:

A salt marsh is also known as the coastal marsh lies in the upper coastal intertidal zone in between the open brackish or marine water water which is regularly flooded with the tides.

This water is full of small plants like herbs, grasses and shrubs. These plants grow on land and it is necessary for the salt marshes because sediments gets trapped in it.

This parts provides the nutrients to the coastal water and animals living in there.
