👉 Xerochlora is a type of algae that grows in water bodies, primarily in lakes and rivers, but can also be found in oceans and estuaries. They are commonly known for their ability to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which helps plants thrive by converting sunlight into chemical energy. Xerochlora is also a crucial component of the ecosystem as it serves as a filter for small particles such as sediment and organic matter, maintaining water clarity and reducing pollution in aquatic environments.
