Detailed explanation-1: -photic zone, surface layer of the ocean that receives sunlight. The uppermost 80 m (260 feet) or more of the ocean, which is sufficiently illuminated to permit photosynthesis by phytoplankton and plants, is called the euphotic zone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The photic zone is the region of water that is penetrated by light and is therefore characterized by the presence of plant life, notably phytoplankton and larger attached algae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photic Zone is the top layer, nearest the surface of the ocean and is also called the sunlight layer. In this zone enough light penetrates the water to allow photosynthesis. The Disphotic Zone is found just below the Photic Zone and is known as the twilight layer.
Detailed explanation-4: -The euphotic zone is the layer of water in which there is enough light for net photosynthesis.
