What is the difference between nekton and benthos?
Nekton can fight against currents- plankton cannot. Think about the difference between someone who is good at swimming and someone who is not swimming in the ocean. The good swimmer can get pounded by the waves, and still swim in whatever direction they want. But if a bad swimmer gets pounded by the waves, they can only go for a little distance in the direction they want before going the direction that the current takes them. That's the difference between plankton and nekton.
