it depends on what kind of animal for one. for two, it depends on how stong of a mixture you have of salt to water. if it is just regular salt water like from an ocean than no, but if you mix salt and water into a solution and the salt level is very high, it coiuld shrivel worms and things with slime.... but that would be cruel.
Does a plant grow taller if watered with milk or salt water?
No. If you give a plant salt water the salt will cause the cells in the plant to shrivel, trying to keep it out, and the plant will eventually die. I have no idea about milk. My best guess is no as well because the solution is too thick for the plant to soak up.

How do animals and plants adapt to living in in the ocean?
The high level of salt causes normal plants to shrivel because the high salt concentration actually extracts water from the cell (due to simple diffusion) causing death to the plant. Seaweed and other marine plant life are exceptions because they are covered with a special layer of tissue that prevents that from happening. That and marine plants are able to handle a high salt environment. If you put a normal potted plant in a bath of salt water, chances are it would shrivel and lose its rigidity over the next few hours.
