Best answer

The domain Archaea includes single-celled organisms, the prokaryotes which have the ability to grow in extreme conditions like volcano vents, hot springs, and polar ice caps, hence are also called extremophiles. They are capable of synthesizing their food without sunlight and oxygen by utilizing hydrogen sulfide and other chemicals from volcanic vents.
