• Plankton is a diverse community of organisms that spend part or all of their existence drifting freely in aquatic environments.
• Organisms in this group spend either part or all of their life in a drifting state, with no ability to swim against a current. Most have little or no ability to swim at all.
• Though some are larger, most planktonic creatures are microscopic and make up the bottom of the food chain in aquatic environments.
• Plankton can be divided into two categories: phytoplankton are those organisms that are plant-like, and zooplankton are organisms that are animal-like.
