Summary Introduction
To review:
The source of energy and nutrients for the benthic organisms in the oceans.
Introduction:
The lowest part of the water body, especially of the oceans and seas, which lies close to the bedrock is called the benthic zone. It receives no or least amount of sunlight and is usually devoid of oxygen, and the water experiences minimum turbulence.
