Plants cannot grow into the depth of the ocean because sometimes the soil at the bottom is not fertile enough, or the ocean is too deep so there is no sunlight, or if there is not enough oxygen in the water.

As depth below the surface increases, the amount of sunlight available to aquatic plants decreases. Some plant species have anatomical, cellular or biochemical adaptations that allow them to carry out photosynthesis successfully in deep or murky water despite the decreased availability of sunlight.
