Phytoplankton is one of the most important organisms in the ocean, accounting for roughly half of all primary production. They sustain marine food chains and affect the chemical composition of the global environment, as well as climate. Phytoplankton is the tiniest species in the ocean. Nonetheless, they are an effective player in the marine world. They are the base of many marine food chains while also sequestering as much CO2 as all terrestrial plants combined. As a result, they play an important role in ocean climate change. Phytoplankton may be used to detect changes in the plankton population caused by climate or environmental change. Increased carbon dioxide levels influence precipitation and temperature around the world, causing climatic change
