The correct answer is: Floating islands (phumdis).
Phumdis are unique to Loktak Lake and are a type of floating peat bog. They are formed by the accumulation of organic matter, mainly plant material, over time. The phumdis are home to a variety of plant and animal life, including fish, birds, and insects. They also play an important role in the lake’s ecosystem, as they help to filter the water and provide habitat for fish.

- Saltwater ecosystem: Loktak Lake is a freshwater lake. It does not have a saltwater ecosystem.
- Waterfalls: Loktak Lake does not have any waterfalls.
