How Do Deep Sea Plants Survive?

They don't undergo the photosynthesis cycle unlike other plants because of the absence of light.They survive entirely by absorbing nutrients present in the soil.The soil is very rich because all dead fish,plankton etc., settles on the deep ocean floor (like an undersea graveyard).

The rooting plants have an impact on the physiological processes of plants because of the nutrition of the plant. Deep rooted plants survive famine more and adapt well because water is accessible readily to deep-rooted systems. Thus in conditions, where there are sporadically drought-ridden, varieties or species of plants which have deeper roots are able to yield more compared to others. For plants like wheat, the nitrogen fertilizer is known to increase yield, and the plants thanks to their deep root systems are able to make efficient use of the nutrients during the spells of drought. Deep root systems are ideal for increased photosynthesis, as plants are able to draw in more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and also for evaporation of water from the plant surface (transpiration).
