    Microscopic marine life plays important but poorly understood roles in ocean ecosystems. For example, while the role of phytoplankton as the most abundant primary producers on Earth is better known, the function of viruses remains largely unexplored. Phytoplankton consist of diverse categories of organisms, including cyanobacteria, algae, diatoms, and dinoflagellates, that serve critical functions in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles.

    Microscopic life

    A copepod. Microscopic life undersea is incredibly diverse and still poorly understood. For example, the role of viruses in marine ecosystems is barely being explored even in the beginning of the 21st century. The role of phytoplankton is better understood due to their critical position as the most numerous primary producers on Earth. Phytoplankton are categorized into cyanobacteria (also called bluegreen algae/bacteria), various types of algae (red, green, brown, and yellow-green), diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, coccolithophorids, cryptomonads,
