The world's oceans are filled with microscopic plants called phytoplankton. Sometimes called the "plants of the sea," phytoplankton form the bottom of the aquatic food chain, serving as nutrition for a wide range of organisms, including fish that humans catch and eat. Phytoplankton, however, make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
