Sodium is indispensable for life because it is important for:
- regulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure
- transmission of nervous impulse
- correct neurons function
All salt water organisms.
Halophilic organisms like being, and grow, better on places with high concentrations of salt while haloduric organisms can stay on places with high concentrations of salt but they won't grow (reproduce)...the just survive.
Halophiles are organisms that thrive in high salt environments. They are typically found in places like salt flats, salt mines, and salt marshes. These organisms have adapted to survive in conditions where the salt concentration is much higher than what most other organisms can tolerate.
Salt absorb the water necessary for organisms.

Not all living things need salt. While salt is essential for human health and the functioning of many organisms, there are organisms like certain plants and bacteria that can live without salt. The need for salt varies depending on the organism's biology and environment.
Because the taste of foods is better with salt and sodium is absolutely necessary for the organisms.
Organisms found in acidic locations include acidophilic bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. In salty locations, you can find halophiles - organisms that thrive in high-salt environments, such as salt flats, salt lakes, or saline soils. Common examples are certain types of bacteria, archaea, and algae.
Marine organisms that maintain their internal salt concentration to match their environment are known as osmoconformers, such as jellyfish, sea anemones, and some bivalves. These organisms allow their internal salt concentration to vary with the surrounding seawater to avoid losing excessive water or becoming dehydrated.
High concentrations of salt inhibit the growth of non-halophilic organisms but allow for the growth of bacteria from the genus Staphylococci.
Organisms that do not grow on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) are non-halophilic bacteria that are unable to tolerate high salt concentrations. Mannitol-fermenting bacteria are organisms that can ferment mannitol and grow on MSA, while non-fermenting bacteria will not grow.
Many animal organisms contain salt.
