Seagrasses are marine flowering plants that require sunlight for photosynthesis to produce energy. They obtain energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis, which involves converting sunlight into chemical energy. The amount of energy that seagrasses obtain from the sun varies based on factors such as the intensity and duration of sunlight, water clarity, and depth at which they grow. On average, seagrasses receive about 50-80% of the available sunlight, with shallow-water seagrasses receiving more sunlight compared to those in deeper waters.
