**Given Information**:
The question asks for the name of organisms that thrive in extremely salty environments.
**Method & Steps**:
1. Identify the type of environment:
  Reasoning: The question specifies 'extremely salty environments'.
  Formula/Rule: N/A
2. Recall the name of organisms adapted to such environments:
  Working: Halophiles are archaea that thrive in high-salt environments.
