In underwater plants observed in a planted aquarium, it is possible to see oxygen pooling on the leaves and releasing a mosaic of bubbles into the water column.

Even underwater, we can literally see that plants use light to drive the splitting of Carbon from Oxygen, and even underwater, plants harness microbial communities to survive and thrive as a symbiotic system. It turns out that the more plants you have in the system, the better. The more microbes you have in the system, the better.
This process is endlessly fascinating, and as it begins to be more understood it has broad implications for how we approach everything humans use as a resource, from agriculture to forestry.
