Detailed explanation-1: -Archaea are microorganisms that define the limits of life on Earth. They were originally discovered and described in extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents and terrestrial hot springs. They were also found in a diverse range of highly saline, acidic, and anaerobic environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaea is the main group to thrive in extreme environments. Although members of this group are generally less versatile than bacteria and eukaryotes, they are generally quite skilled in adapting to different extreme conditions, holding frequently extremophily records.

Detailed explanation-3: -Whenever you see a hot, muddy, acidic spring, you are probably seeing the results of a thriving community of archaeal cells called Sulfolobus. This is the archaea most often isolated and most well known by scientists.
