Because there isn't enough water or moisture in the soil for plants to take up through their roots so normal plants can't survive in the desert. Some plants are designed to survive in the desert such as the cactus so there are some plants but not many.
Because of water
Not good enough soil.
because they need water and the desert is hot and dry

Of course sea plants can grow in salt water, as do many riverine or estuary plants.

Plants absorb water through the roots largely through osmosis, this process requires the concentration of salts within the plant to be higher than that of the soil to be effective; naturally irrigating with salt water reverses this process - hence most plants cannot live in salty environments.

There are however a small group of plants collectively known as halophytes which can assimilate and process salt.

The question makes no sense:

  • 2/3 of the Earth is water, the majority of that is ocean.
  • 90% of all life on Earth currently lives in the ocean.
  • Plants represent life.

This is not a faulty syllogism, it is a logical track. There are species of plants in the ocean that have not even been cataloged yet.
