Are seaweed plants?

Yes,Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae.[1] The term includes some members of the red, brown andgreen algae. Seaweeds can also be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, industrial, etc.).A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae.
