Abstract
Phytoplankton is microscopic, plant-like organisms that drift in the water. These singlecelled photo synthesizers can either swim using their flagella or be carried by the currents. They are an essential part of aquatic food chains and are found in almost all bodies of water. German biologist Victor Hensen first used the term "plankton" in 1887 to describe these microorganisms.
