Marine Plants and the Ocean Food Chain Ocean plants, in a way, are the most important living things in the ocean. Now, that’s a funny thing to say, don’t you think? Scary sharks and huge whales and playful penguins seem far more interesting than ocean plants. In fact, whether they know it or not, ocean plants are very, very important to those sharks and whales and penguins. Can you guess why? Sharks, whales, penguins and practically every animal in the oceans could not live without ocean plants, whether they eat them or not.
