Plankton are important to the food web because phytoplankton can produce it's own food and many organisms fee off of them. Some of their adaptions include spikes and projections, the release of oil, and air-filled floats. An example of phytoplankton is a protist and an example of zooplankton is picoplankton. Phytoplankton can photosynthesize and zooplankton have flagella that move them around like animals.
