Zooplankton and phytoplankton primarily inhabit the ocean and other bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers. They are most abundant in the photic zone, which is the upper layer of water that receives sunlight, allowing for photosynthesis. This region is crucial for marine ecosystems as phytoplankton serve as primary producers, while zooplankton are key consumers in the food web. Both groups play vital roles in nutrient cycling and supporting aquatic life.
