This zone does not spread across the ocean floor but exists only in the deepest ocean trenches. Because no light reaches this part of the ocean, it is impossible for plants to thrive but there are still hardy creatures that call these depths home.
Does anything live in the hadal zone?
Marine life decreases with depth, both in abundance and biomass, but there is a wide range of metazoan organisms in the hadal zone, mostly benthos, including fish, sea cucumber, bristle worms, bivalves, isopods, sea anemones, amphipods, copepods, decapod crustaceans and gastropods.
Why dont plants grow in the abyssal zone or the hadal zone?
The abyssal zone has temperatures around 2 to 3 °C (36 to 37 °F) through the large majority of its mass. Due to there being no light, there are no plants producing oxygen, which primarily comes from ice that had melted long ago from the polar regions.
