It produces its own sunlight to perform photosynthesis. It produces its own sunlight to perform photosynthesis.

Answer 1

It can use a small amount of sunlight for photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Seaweeds are a group of marine plants/algae that grow attached to rocks underwater. However, despite their depth underwater, they still perform photosynthesis, which is a process that requires energy from sunlight.

Seaweeds are able to perform photosynthesis underwater because they are efficient users of sunlight energy. Hence, they require only a small amount of sunlight that penetrates the ocean to perform photosynthesis.
