Plankton aren't a single species. The term encompasses an entire world of species that simply can't swim against the current (similar to pollen in the air). Plankton account for a large portion (if not the largest portion) of the base of the aquatic food chain. If you're an aquatic creature & you don't eat plankton, chances are you eat something that ate plankton.
