Answer Kelp belongs to the kingdom Chromista. Plants are photosynthetic and store energy in the form of starch. Kelp are also photosynthetic, but produce sugars and not starch. Also, kelp and other chromists have "chlorophyll c" which gives it he characteristic brownish tint. This pigment and others that chromists contain are not found in any "plant." ChromistaThe kingdom Protista has been divided into Chromista and "other protists" The chromista have closer evolutionary ties to plants, animals, and fungi than they do to other protists. They are eukaryotic and autotrophic. This group includes red/brown algae (kelp) and diatoms. The multicellular organisms in Chromista are thought to have evolved their multicellularity independently from other kingdoms. Chromo means color, and although some chromists are colorless, they are characterized by a yellowish/brownish color coming from their version of chlorophyll. Anatomy of Kelp The features of kelp look like plant features. Where a plant would have roots, kelp has a "holdfast". The purpose of the holdfast is to attach the kelp to the sea floor. It does not obtain nutrients in the way that plant roots do. The "stipe" or stalk of the kelp is analogous to the stem of plants. The blades of kelp are analogous to leaves. In some kelp, at the base of the kelp blades, there are structures called gas bladders that allow the kelp to float upright.
I'm not sure but I think it's because like coral kelp is alive
it is different because nicholas papp is stupid
just cause it isnt and that's that
Kelp is actually brown algae. Kelp is not a plant it is a protist from the kingdom Protista.
Kelp is an underwater plant therefore a kelp forest would be underwater. Kelp is a plant that can only live underwater.
Kelp is a plant, not a cell.... so no!+
No, kelp is a green plant.
i dont know! kelp is a plant! its a plant! it doesnt think
no... kelp is and ocean plant...
Yes, Kelp are large seaweeds.
kelp does not eat, it is a plant. it photosynthesises
They can't protect themselves from herbivores.
its georgeiolite
No it is a producer, it is a plant.
the kelp is the largest plant in the ocean
