Yes. Even the plants and algae that are completely under the surface are exposed to enough sunlight to conduct photosynthesis. Shoreline plants and partially submerged plants are included in water biomes, and these, of course, photosynthesize.

Yes, photosynthesis can occur underwater in aquatic plants and algae. These organisms use chlorophyll to capture light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for the survival of many marine and freshwater ecosystems.
