The light energy is to low
No green plants are at the bottom of the ocean because the sun can't get down there to feed the part of the plant cell that makes plants green.
Seaweed, seagrass, kelp, green algae, red algae and brown algae are six commonly-known ocean plants. Plants, or producers, are vital to the health of ocean ecosystems and serve as a food source to higher organisms.
plants that live in the ocean. They are living plants.
what are the native plants in the ocean
Kelp, seaweed and algae are ocean plants. They are needed to feed ocean fish and mammals.
Not enough light penetrates to allow photosynthesis.
because they need the sunlight

obama is green
Plants are green because of pigments, including chlorophylls, that absorb light for photosynthesis. In deep parts of the ocean, where it is always dark, photosynthesis cannot take place (there is no light), so there is no need for these green pigments in plants that may exist there. Therefore any plants that do exist there would not be green, as production of chlorophylls would be a waste of energy and resources.
no
If they are green, then yes.
it has so many plants because the plants can do photosynthesis. unlike in the deep ocean with no sunlight
As the number of plants that photosynthesize increased, the rocks in the ocean became covered with these primitive plants. They looked green due to the presence of the plants.
Well let me think... NOTHING!! Green plants only grow near the surface of the ocean. The deeper the water, the less plants are found. This is because green plants need sunlight. The sunlight totally disappears and the plants cannot live. Try something similar yourself. Put one plant in a sunny spot and another plant of the same variety in a dark cupboard and leave them for 7 days. The plant in the cupboard will be lighter in color and wilted.
Salinity vs. depth profiles are different in different parts of the ocean, so there is really no one correct answer to this question.
