The name plankton means a set of organisms that cannot swim against marine currents. Did you find it weird? Wait because there's still more. There are three types of plankton. They can be animals (zoo), plants (fit) or bacteria (bacterial). […] In summary, the world that we are getting to know is made up of microscopic animals, plants and bacteria that live in the waters of the sea and of the lakes, and they all have one difficulty in common: their locomotion capacity is very small, they live fighting not to sink in the Water.
