Macro-invertebrates are small organisms that do not have a backbone. They are all insects, arthropods, arachnids. Invertebrates means; In, not and vertebrate, vertebrae (backbone) essentially meaning, no vertebrae. These organisms instead have an exoskeleton, a hard shell covering their body to protect their organs. The exoskeleton is made of chiton (protein) that has. Not all macro invertebrates have an exoskeleton some, like the jellyfish, do not

The benthic zone is home to various organisms such as marine worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and echinoderms. These organisms rely on the sediments on the ocean floor for shelter, food, and protection. Additionally, bacteria and microorganisms also thrive in the benthic zone, contributing to nutrient recycling and ecosystem health.
Animals that live in the benthic zone include sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, sea urchins, marine worms, and various crustaceans like crabs and lobsters. These organisms are adapted to life on the ocean floor and play crucial roles in the ecosystem.
Starfish are found in all temperate or tropical oceans. They are hugely adaptable and can live happily on sandy, coral, muddy or rocky seabeds. They are most abundant in the Atlantic ocean.
The zone of the benthic environment that ranges from 200 to 4000m below sea level is known as the abyssal zone. This zone is characterized by complete darkness, low temperatures, and high pressure, making it one of the most remote and extreme environments on the planet. Organisms that inhabit the abyssal zone have adapted to survive under these harsh conditions, including deep-sea fish, squid, and invertebrates.
