Why do algae have to float on top of the water?
Algae do not necessarily have to float on top of the water. Some species of algae have adapted to their environment and actually live underwater so they do not have the risk of drying out. The surface algae though floats because it is not very dense (tightly packed) so it has air bubbles that allows it to float.
