Kelp is a protist from the kingdom of Protista, it is not a plant Good grief - kelp is a seaweed, not a protist. It is one of the brown algae, and indeed uses sunlight as the energy source to make its own food. Actually, it is a protist and it gets nutrients from photosynthesis. Yep, kelps are seaweeds, but they are actually from the Kingdom Protista (i.e. protists). They belong to the Class Phaeophyceae which are protists, not plants (although clearly, they are plant like). And yes, they photosynthesise.
Is kelp an autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Kelp is autotrophic, because it makes it food from sunlight.
