They can only live on the floor if there is enough light. If the algae is kelp, then it can grow long enough to reach light but still would have to be close to the light when small.
Holdfasts are the structures in large algae that take the place of roots. These holdfasts anchor the algae to the ocean floor, providing stability and allowing the algae to withstand ocean currents and waves.
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough light for photosynthesis to occur. Deeper in the ocean, there is insufficient light for algae to thrive.
red algae red algae contain a pigment r-phycoerythrin which absorbs blue light and reflects red light. blue light can penetrate deeper parts of sea than other lights of higher wavelengths. hence we find red algae in deep sea oceans
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Deep sea areas lack sufficient light for algae to survive.

Crabs are mostly scavengers, eating algae and debris off the ocean floor.
Blob fish survive by laying on the bottom of the ocean floor and eat anything that floats by!
yes, algae doesn't because it gets its energy from the sun
Red algae is the only algae that can survive in the deepest water
They both come from the ocean floor? That and it probably has to do with both allowing some type of plant or animal life to survive on the ocean floor.
Algae can be found throughout the ocean, from the surface waters down to the deep sea. They can thrive in a variety of marine habitats, such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and open ocean waters. Algae can also grow on rocks, sand, and other substrates on the ocean floor.
Hiding on the ocean floor to facilitate foraging.
There are a wide variety of plants that live in the ocean, both plants with roots attached to the sea floor and plants which float in the water. The most common ocean plant is phytoplankton. Other plants include kelp, seagrass, and many types of algae,
yes I sw algae in ocean water. Algae grew on my ocean watered plants during a science expirement
