Yes, all living things use oxygen. Plants, just like animals, absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide to live. However, the process of photosynthesis can usually produce more oxygen than the plant requires to live, resulting in a net gain in oxygen.

Algae that rest on top of the water get their oxygen from the air, but it is equally possible that they get it from the oxygen absorbed in the water.
