Marine algae and kelps
Marine habitats are home to seaweeds, algae, sea grasses, and mangroves.
The major difference between plants and algae is that plants have connective tissues for the transportation of water in the entire plant body while every cell of algae absorbs water from the source on its own. There is no connective tissue is algae. Secondly, the reproduction system of plants is more developed while that of algae is primitive. Thirdly, algae can be single-celled while plants are multicellular organisms. Another area of difference between plants and algae is photo respiration. Moreover, it is argued by the scientists that algae and plants may share the same ancestor but algae cannot be classified as plants.

Yes, red algae and red marine algae refer to the same group of algae that are predominantly found in marine environments. They are known for their red pigmentation due to the presence of phycoerythrin pigments.
The plant that produces the most oxygen in the world is the phytoplankton, which are tiny marine algae found in oceans and bodies of water.
No, periwinkles are not carnivores. They are marine snails that primarily feed on algae and plant matter.
