Are the any plants near hydrothermal vents?

Near hydrothermal vents, there are no traditional plants like those found in sunlight-based ecosystems since the extreme conditions and lack of sunlight prevent photosynthesis. However, unique ecosystems thrive in these areas, primarily supported by chemosynthetic bacteria that convert chemicals from the vents into energy. These bacteria serve as the foundation for complex food webs, supporting various organisms such as tube worms, clams, and other invertebrates that rely on these bacteria for nourishment.
