The littoral zone is the lake zone closest to the shore and includes the shallow sunlit water where plants can live and grow. The benthic zone is the very bottom of the lake where sediment and detritus gather. The limnetic zone is the open water beyond the littoral zone, where photosynthesis cannot occur. The profundal zone is the deepest part of the lake, where sunlight cannot reach.
