The base of marine life is a large complex group of organisms known as plankton. Plankton are not defined by size nor taxonomy (i.e., biological classification), but rather because they are passively carried by water motion. Although some plankton can swim, their ability to is generally less than the strength of water movement. Most planktonic organisms are small (less than a 1 mm or 0.039 inch), although larger jellyfish are also considered plankton.
