Are the stem holdfast and blade of brown algae the same as stems roots and leaves of land plants?

Algae have neither. Species of multicellular algae grow a body called a "thallus." A thallus may be simply a long string of cells, a bush-like or a feather-like structure, or a superficially plant-like structure, like those seen in kelp. The stem-like portions of a thallus (in those algae species that form a plant-like thallus) is sometimes called a "stipe." (The leaf-like portion is called a "blade," and the root-like portion called a "holdfast")
