Explain your observation in nature your reason for the absence of no green plants in the depth of the ocean where it is always dark?

Plants are green because of pigments, including chlorophylls, that absorb light for photosynthesis. In deep parts of the ocean, where it is always dark, photosynthesis cannot take place (there is no light), so there is no need for these green pigments in plants that may exist there. Therefore any plants that do exist there would not be green, as production of chlorophylls would be a waste of energy and resources.
