Plants or Trees and Water

Question

I just bought a new house. The backyard tends to collect a lot of water and stays damp to soggy most of the time. I am close to a flood zone. Is there a plant or tree that I can put in that will take lots of water and help to dry up my yard a bit? I live on the coast in Mississippi.
