how are there animals which can survive the extreme pressure living miles beneath the ocean surface?

Question

There are many animals which live at extreme depths. How do they survive with no light down there? Are there any plants? If so, how? And most importantly: how are they not crushed by the extreme pressure? They must be babies at some point

To quote an expert on chaos theory, “Life… finds a way.” Nature hates a vacuum and is exceedingly good at adapting creatures to survive in all kinds of environments. Whether it’s freezing temperatures, crushing pressure of the oceans depths, or even extreme heat in thermal vents (thermal vent tube worms, who not only survive crazy temperatures, but do so with out a digestive track as we know it)
