I do not know but i know this...

There are only a few true plants in the oceans; these include salt marsh grasses and mangrove trees. But large algae, or seaweed, also use photosynthesis to make food, just as plants do on land. These organisms have to live in the photic zone, because they require sunlight for photosynthesis. For that reason, most plants, seaweeds and algae in the ocean are found near the ocean surface or close to the shore.

What is the name of the floating gardens the Aztecs built on Lake toxcoco?

They were called chinampas. With too little land for agriculture, the Aztecs would starve if they didn't find a way to farm. Using reed rafts, they piled dirt and used the fertile soil from the lakebed. They used stakes to hold these rafts and planted trees so the soil wouldn't just float away. Since the soil was very fertile, the crops were good.
