Well, some algae ARE plants; green algae and brown algae (and maybe glauco algae depending on who you ask). For the most part the others are protists.
Depending on how specific you want to get this question can get pretty complicated. There are some pretty cool and obscure forms of algae out there. I am sure if this question has to do with a test or something in mid/high school the question should refer to a particular definition of algae and a particular definition of plants as pertains to the text used in the class, but in the real world this question is unanswerable as it stands because there are too many kinds of plants and too many kinds of algae. To cite differences specific types of each must be specified.
One key structural difference between algae and land plants is that algae lack true roots, stems, and leaves, while land plants have well-defined vascular tissues that support them. Algae also lack specialized structures for reproduction, such as flowers or cones, which are present in many land plants. Additionally, algae typically have a simpler body structure compared to the more complex structures seen in land plants.
One important difference is their level of complexity. Chlamydomonas is a single-celled algae, while Volvox is a multicellular organism composed of many cells. This difference in complexity can impact their size, behavior, and reproduction.
Algae are simpler, unicellular or multicellular organisms that lack true roots, stems, and leaves. They can live in water or damp environments. Land plants are more complex, multicellular organisms with specialized organs like roots, stems, and leaves. They are adapted to life on land and rely on a specialized vascular system for transporting water and nutrients.
Plants and green algae have the same types of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their cells so scientists think plants and green algae have a common ancestor.
One of the most important structural differences between algae and euglena is that euglena possesses a flagellum, which allows it to move independently, while most algae lack this structure and rely on water currents for movement. Additionally, euglena have a distinct eye spot called a stigma, which helps them detect light, whereas this feature is not present in most algae.
Algae lack specialized tissues like roots, stems, and leaves that are present in plants. Instead, algae have simple structures for attachment and nutrient absorption.

They do not have roots, stems, or leaves Edited answer: Algae come under primitive plants as these ahve varity of forms ranging from unicellular to multicellular colonial and filamentous and have undifferentiated body.
Green algae is a primitive form of plant. It IS a plant WRONG!!!green algae is a protist don't put it on the internet if you know it isn't right. Actually, some forms of green algae are now classified in the Kingdom Plantae right along with green land plants. For example, the Divisions Chlorophyta and Charophyta are considered plants. Both of the above answers are incorrect in that the first one is too inclusive (not all green algae are considered plants) while the second one is too exclusive (SOME green algae are considered plants). So, you might take your own advice: don't put it on the Internet until you KNOW it is right.
Humans eat and plants use photosynthesis Theres one
one makes seeds and another does not make seeds
Names of classes in nonvascular plants are Algae, Fungi and Bryophytes. As one proceeds from Algae to Bryophytes the complexity of plant body is increased.

ALGAE : any of a group of aquatic plants, ranging from one-celled plankton to large seaweeds.
There are not many plants that live in the continental slope. One of the few plants that live here is algae.
Algae are one of the oldest lineages, from before plants went onto land. Bryophytes are of the first lineage to live on land.
One lot flowers the other lot don't.
