Phytoplankton are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, including oceans, rivers, and lakes. They play a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as the base of the aquatic food web, supporting a wide range of marine life. Phytoplankton include various types of algae and cyanobacteria and contribute significantly to global carbon cycling. Their populations can fluctuate based on environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability and light.
