Different types of algae exist in different kingdoms.

Algae include any archaeaplastids (an unranked level between domain and kingdom). Their chloroplasts are derived from cyanobacteria (known as blue-green algae, which are not algae despite their name) which entered the cells of their ancestor (in a process known as endosymbiosis).

Chromalevolates are a separate kingdom of algae which are less closely related to plants, animals or fungi than any other eukaryote is, but are algae because they have chloroplasts which evolved from red algae which entered their cells (secondary endosymbiosis).
