First and foremost do not attempt to start the engine, before asessing the amount of water infiltration. Drain the oil first, then run fresh oil through the crankcase until it is clear. Pull the spark plug(s), spray WD-40 in the cylinder, clean the plug (replace if necesary), drain the gas, fill with fresh gas, drop the float bowl (bottom of carb), if you see water or grime deposits, pull the carb and spray it out until its clean. Remove/clean/dry or replace air cleaner element. Check ALL electrical connections and blow dry them out. Also check all joint boots/steering and wheel bearings, repack with marine grade grease. Then reassemble and crank over a few times with fresh oil. Should fire up after that.

Pull the spark plug(s) and crank the engine to make sure you flush out any water from the combustion chamber. Hydrolocking an engine can blow a headgasket, or worse, snap a connecting rod. Once you've made sure your combustion chamber is clear of water, you can replace the plugs and start your ATV as normal.

Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?

It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."

No, it is a floating plant, i know you might argue that the roots are underwater while the leaves are above but actually that counts as a floating plant, or else water hyacinth and water lettuce are half-submerged too. Floating plants is a plant that has it's leaves above water and it's roots dangling in water, partially submerged is leaves above water but roots in the soil below water, completely submerged is the roots in the soil below and the leaves also below water surface. -LJTG
