Benthos, organisms living on or in the ocean floor, adapt to their environments through various strategies. Many have specialized structures, such as burrowing appendages or adhesive features, allowing them to anchor themselves in sediment or attach to surfaces. Additionally, benthic species often possess physiological adaptations to cope with varying levels of light, pressure, and nutrient availability in their specific habitats. These adaptations enhance their survival and reproductive success in diverse benthic environments.

Benthos live on or in the sediment at the bottom of bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. They can be found in a wide range of environments, from shallow coastal areas to deep ocean trenches.
All benthos live on the ocean floor, from the continental shelf to the abyssal plain. Some attach themselves to the floor, while others burrow under the sand. Continental shelf for A+.
