Sunlight does penetrate a certain distance underwater, although very deep underwater there is no sunlight. In the upper waters, there are algae and other plants that use sunlight for photosynthesis, so the sun is as much a part of the underwater food web as it would be for those on land.

The sun is the primary source of energy in most ecosystems. Through photosynthesis, producers like plants and algae convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is then consumed by herbivores, carnivores, and other organisms in the food web.
