1)phytoplankton--unicellular photosynthetic plankton in the photic zone(upper part of ocean where light can reach): diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophores, cyanobacteria(used to be called blue-green algae).

2) seaweed--

Seaweeds are marine algae: saltwater-dwelling, simple organisms that fall into the rather outdated general category of "plants". Most of them are the green (1200 species), brown (2200 species) or red (6500 species) kinds shown on this page, and most are attached by holdfasts, which just have an anchorage function. Two major groups of seaweeds are wracks (brown algae order Fucales) and kelps (brown algae order Laminariales ). Seaweeds live in rocky intertidal zones in most oceans and in temperate and polar regions they may dominate rocky surfaces in the shallow subtidal. Some may be found to depths of 250 m.

Also, mangroves and seagrasses if you count some very specialized shallow-dwelling coastal marine plants.

What type of vegetation is in the temperate oceans?

I'm trying to fine the same question but I don't think the question is what type of vegetation is in the ocean but where! The "plants" that we believe are vegetation in the ocean are really animals believe it or not so I think, and I'm not completely sure, but I think that what were looking for is more on the beaches of the ocean and not so much in the ocean. Hope I helped a bit!

Is the sea floor smooth and level?

Yes, in many places it is. But like the surface of the earth that you can see, the ocean floor has many different topographies. The ocean floor has mountains, volcanoes, deep valleys, and reefs. There vast areas of vegetation and areas that are devoid of vegetation, often due to how deep they are and how much sunlight penetrates. There are also arctic regions of ocean floor as well as tropical regions. The ocean floor is really as varied as the continents above the water.
