Is it true that the largest volcanoes on Earth are found on land rather than on the ocean floor?

Unclear. Three sources lean against the claim: NOAA states the greatest number of Earth's volcanoes occur on the ocean floor, a textbook chapter notes underwater volcanic formations are a dominant ocean-floor feature, and a peer-reviewed study suggests the submerged Tamu Massif could be the largest single volcano on Earth. None of these directly compares the largest land volcano with the largest ocean-floor volcano, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
