Plankton (singular plankter) are the diverse collection of organisms that live in the water column of large bodies of water and are unable to swim against a current. They provide a crucial source of food to many large aquatic organisms, such as fish and whales. Much like the character of Sponge Bob’s nemesis.

Now, here is what they do in order to feed. They swim with their mouth opened wide. This way, they can scoop the tiny plants and animals up, along with any small fishes that happen to be on their way.
