A comb jelly, or ctenophore, is primarily classified as a pelagic organism, meaning it lives in the water column rather than on the seafloor. While it can be found at various depths in the ocean and may occasionally come into contact with the benthic zone, it is not considered benthic. Therefore, comb jellies are more accurately categorized as part of the nekton or plankton, depending on their ability to swim against currents.
