In general, trees produce the most oxygen because of their large size and leaf surface area for photosynthesis. Some of the top oxygen-producing plants include conifers like pine, fir, and spruce, as well as broadleaf trees such as oak, maple, and aspen. Additionally, underwater plants like algae and seagrasses also contribute significantly to oxygen production in water ecosystems.
Phytoplankton (a plant) in the oceans produce 70% of the world's oxygen, by far the largest contribution from any type of plant.
If you want the individual plant that gives off the most oxygen each year, it is probably the 43 hectare (106 acre) network of quaking aspen tree trunks (Populus tremuloides) in Utah that the Guinness Book of World Records lists as the tree world's largest living organism. The mass of the quaking aspen is estimated at 6 million kg (6,600 tons). The quaking aspen is considered a single organism because all the stems originate from one root system. There was an article in Discover magazine several years ago on the world record quaking aspen.
In terms of the most oxygen produced per unit ground area covered by a single plant species, it would be a tropical grass or other species with C-4 photosynthesis, such as cultivated corn (Zea mays). For natural ecosystems per unit ground area, tropical rain forests generally have the highest annual rates of photosynthesis.

If you simply want to place plants in your house you need to look at getting rid of all pollutants, NOT just increasing oxygen levels.
These are the top pollutant reducing plants as discovered during a 2 year experiment by NASA.

Which plants produce food and oxygen?
All green plants produce food ande oxygen
What Australian plants produce oxygen?
All green plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. In Australia, native plants such as eucalyptus trees, grass trees, kangaroo paw, and wattles are some examples of plants that produce oxygen.
What produce oxygen?
Plants, particularly through the process of photosynthesis, produce oxygen as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Do plants produce oxygen from carbon monoixde?
No, plants do not produce oxygen from carbon monoxide. Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, which involves taking in carbon dioxide and water and converting them into glucose and oxygen. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to both plants and animals.
Can you identify the gas produced by the plant in the process that improved the air in the jar?
It is most likely oxygen, as plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is a byproduct of the reaction that occurs when plants convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy.
What plants produce the most oxygen you breathe?
Trees of course
Which gas do plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen gas during photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
What gas do eggs produce?
Plants will typically produce one particular very famous and very needed gas. The gas that most plants will produces is oxygen.
Which plants produce food and oxygen?
All green plants produce food ande oxygen
Do plants produce food when they have no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
Do plants produce food when they no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
Do plants produce food they have no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
What Australian plants produce oxygen?
All green plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. In Australia, native plants such as eucalyptus trees, grass trees, kangaroo paw, and wattles are some examples of plants that produce oxygen.
What scientific element do plants produce?
Plants produce oxygen (O2).
Can you produce oxygen without trees?
We can't produce oxygen without plants... That's why we need plants.. =D
Do green plants take in oxygen?
Yes, photosynthesis in plants releases Oxygen.
What gas do plants produce for the atmosphere?
Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen as a byproduct, which is released into the atmosphere.
