The beautiful coral reefs you see underwater are actually animals and not plants!
Coral is any structure that is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny coral creatures called polyps. They are translucent animals of a sessile nature, which attach themselves to the ocean floor, ‘taking roots’ just like plants.
But, How?
The major differentiating factor between plants and animals is that plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis while animals have to rely on food sources.
