Kelp requires temperatures between 6 °C/43 °F and 14 °C / 57 °F to live depending on variety.
No, kelp cannot survive without water. Kelp ideally needs cool, nutrient-rich water to thrive.
They can't protect themselves from herbivores.
Shrimp will occasionally eat kelp but they most survive on water algae. Shrimp are near the bottom of the food chain in the ocean.

Kelp can range from 1mm to 3 in. it all depends on the habitat, hot/warm water it will usually be 1-3 in. cold water any where from 1mm- 1 in.
Its conditions are that kelp forests grow along rocky coastlines in depths of about 2m to more than 30m. Kelp gives nutrient-rich food to fish. They grow in cold water.
All organisms have all kinds of adaptations. If giant kelp have chloropasts, then giant kelp can receive its energy and nutrients from sunlight. This photosynthesis helps the kelp survive. Another adaptation of giant kelp could be having a holdfast, which keeps it anchored to the seafloor, preventing the kelp from drifting away from kelp forests.
The common Kelp as we know grows in sea water.

Iodine can generally be removed from kelp by allowing the kelp to soak in water for 30 minutes.
Kelp is an underwater plant therefore a kelp forest would be underwater. Kelp is a plant that can only live underwater.
Kelp in the Arctic Ocean primarily survives in the form of large, leafy blades anchored to the seafloor by holdfasts. These structures allow kelp to remain stable against strong currents and ice movement. Additionally, the cold temperatures and varying light conditions in the Arctic can limit kelp growth to specific periods, typically during the summer months when sunlight is more abundant. Kelp forests provide essential habitats and food sources for various marine species in this unique ecosystem.
