Some archaea can harness energy from sunlight through a process called phototrophy, using light-absorbing pigments like bacteriorhodopsin. However, they do not perform photosynthesis in the same way that plants do. Instead, many archaea are known for their ability to thrive in extreme environments and often obtain energy through chemosynthesis or other means. Thus, while some archaea can utilize sunlight, they are not primarily known for making food like plants.
