noun 
  1. Small algae and fungi. They obtain energy by photosynthesis, and live mostly in the upper part of the sea, because they need light to survive.
Etymology: (phytum) "plant" + (planctum) "wandering". However, they are no longer classified as plants, so the terminology is showing a historical meaning.
