It is a place where volcanism or hot water heated by the underlying magma erupts on the ocean floor.
They are an undersea thermal vent or hydrothermal vent.

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for almost all organisms, as it drives photosynthesis in plants and algae, which are then consumed by other organisms in the food chain. Organisms living deep in the ocean near thermal vents rely on chemosynthesis, where bacteria convert chemicals from the vents into energy.

Ocean thermal energy comes from the heat stored in the sun-warmed surface layers of the ocean. The temperature difference between the warm surface water and the cold deeper water is harnessed to generate electricity using ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems.
