Question

How aquatic organisms are not entirely independent on soil

Answer 1

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

• All organisms depend on soil for their sustenance, directly or indirectly.

• Aquatic organisms depend on aquatic plants for survival.

• These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance.

• These minerals are carried to water bodies by rivers, rainwater etc.

Without those minerals, life for an aquatic organism is impossible.

Bigger Aquatic Organisms → Smaller Aquatic organisms → Aquatic plants

• Aquatic plants acquire nutrients from the soil which are washed into the water bodies.

                                                             

Answer 2

Answer:
