Yes! There are numerous underwater communities that rely on thermal vents. No sunlight can penetrate to these depths.

Uh, unless I am very mistaken, the answer is no. Sunlight is the source of life sustaining energy on this planet. Given that the sun would blink out completely in a second, life on this planet would fade rapidly...even those deep in the ocean relying on heat/energy sources from rips in the ocean floor.
It's a question of thermodynamics...the earth being an open system fed energy from the sun. Remove sunlight from the equation and you have a closed system destined on death.

Yes. There is deep ocean life that receives no sunlight, but life is supported by chemical energy released by thermal (volcanic) vents.

yeah, they are organisms that live in caves or underground and they have adapted to their environment so they don't need the sunlight.

Fungi. That's why they not contain chlorophyll to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.

Yes, the living creatures that are thousands and thousands feet below the sea level
