thumb|upright=1.5| Part of the contents of one dip of a hand net. The image contains diverse planktonic organisms, ranging from [[photosynthetic cyanobacteria and diatoms to many different types of zooplankton, including both holoplankton (permanent residents of the plankton) and meroplankton (temporary residents of the plankton, e.g., fish eggs, crab larvae, worm larvae). 100 μm = one tenth of a mm.]]

AI overview

Plankton are tiny organisms that drift in water, including both photosynthetic forms like cyanobacteria and diatoms, as well as various zooplankton that range from permanent residents to temporary visitors such as fish eggs and larvae. They form a diverse community that is fundamental to aquatic ecosystems, serving as a primary food source and supporting the base of aquatic food webs.
