Benthos are the organisms that live in the benthic zone, and are different from those elsewhere in the water column. Many are adapted to live on the substrate (bottom). In their habitats they can be considered as dominant creatures, but they are often a source of prey for Carcharhinidae such as the lemon shark.
To recap, benthic zones are found in all bodies of water, because this term refers to the bottom layer of water in a body of water. Benthos refers to the bottom layer of water and all the organisms that live in it. There are different layers where organisms live in the benthos; in the sediment (hyperbenthos), on top of the sediment (epibenthos), and in the sediment (endobenthos).
