Phytoplankton are at one of the lowest levels of the food chain meaning their populations affect everything above them. Most of the energy in the oceans start off from them because they the main organisms generating energy from photosynthesis. A shark, which is near the top of the food chain in ocean life, eats other fish and most of the biomass of the fish comes from phytoplanktons in one way or another. Directly phytoplanktons affect land animals based off of the animals that prey on oceanic organisms. On another side though phytoplanktons produce a large percentage of the worlds oxygen from photosynthesis and recycles co2. Without them are atmosphere would be very different and animals could not have evolved to such large sizes and would have had smaller populations if they were still capable of even evolving at all.
