Water bears, or tardigrades, are microscopic, water-dwelling organisms belonging to the phylum Tardigrada. Though not classified as plankton in the strictest sense, they are often found in aquatic environments and can drift in water currents. Tardigrades are known for their resilience, capable of surviving extreme conditions, including extreme temperatures, radiation, and even the vacuum of space. They play a role in the ecosystem by feeding on plant cells, algae, and small invertebrates.
