Phytoplankton (microscopic plants) grow in the open ocean.


The ocean has two kinds of green plants. Seaweed grows along the shore. Microscopic phytoplankton grows in the open ocean. Phytoplankton is a kind of very small green plant. It uses the sun’s energy to grow and reproduce quickly. Phytoplankton produces one half of the earth’s oxygen. Very small animals eat phytoplankton, so there is never too much phytoplankton in the ocean. Larger animals eat the small animals that eat phytoplankton. Dead phytoplankton sinks to the bottom of the ocean as part of marine snow. Animals in the deep ocean eat the dead phytoplankton. Some animals in the deep ocean swim to the surface to eat living phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is a very important green plant on earth.
