 Eichhornia (crassipes, azurea, diversifolia)
The old dead generation keeps any other plants growing till the next season(s) so the Eichhornia gets a head start and perhaps the narrow morphology of the plant allows it to get through all the flened litter easier than other plants.
It could also be once the plant flens that it covers the surface completely even if it's mostly dead plants but a few plants are still actively growing, getting all the nutrients etc out of the water/soil etc. It's certainly an advanced plant with many ways to compete in an aquatic environment.
Soap box: The funny thing is that nurseries often sell water hythcinth(an extremely common Eichhornia species) yet no USDA folks are calling all the nurseries in CA to stop them in any way.
