∙ 8y agoCave structures are divided up into three zone based on the amount of sunlight extending into each. The amount of sunlight in the entrance zone is unmitigated by the overhang of the cave entrance, meaning local plants and wildlife abound. The dark zone in the very back of the cave hosts no sunlight whatsoever and as such no plants can survive there. Some of these are:
1.Mosses.
2.Ferns.
3.Liverworts.

Caves flooded by the sea will have suites of loca, marine fauna and flora using the day-lit entrance area analogously to terrestrial organims that like the entrances of dry caves.

Why are there so few producers in caves?
Caves typically have limited space, resources, and access to sunlight, all of which are essential for producers like plants to thrive. The harsh conditions such as low light levels and scarce nutrients make it difficult for plants to grow in caves, leading to fewer producers in such environments.
