Plankton is a collection of drifting and floating organisms in water that cannot move against currents or winds (Britannica, 2023). There are several types of plankton. Usually, plankton can be identified based on its size, type, and duration of drifting. It can be observed under the microscope. There are two basic groups of plankton which are phytoplankton (plants) and zooplankton (animals). Phytoplankton are microscopic marine algae. This phytoplankton has chlorophyll and needs light for its growth development.
