Although tube worms cannot produce their own food, they often thrive around these underwater vents. They are able to survive because inside the tube is the trophosome, an organ that contains millions of bacteria in symbiotic relationship with the worm, which are responsible for feeding these creatures that do not have any type of digestive system or visual organs, as they live in the most absolute darkness.
