Nekton are free-swimming animals that can move throughout the water column.
Hindlimbs in aquatic animals are adapted for swimming through features like webbed feet for propulsion, streamlined shapes to reduce drag, and strong muscles for powerful strokes. These adaptations help animals move efficiently in water by reducing resistance and increasing force generation.
