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, and they play an important role in the lake’s ecosystem.
