Kelp absorbs water directly through its fronds and the surface of its holdfast, which is the root-like structure that anchors it to the ocean floor. Unlike terrestrial plants, kelp does not have specialized roots for water uptake; instead, it relies on diffusion to take in seawater and the nutrients dissolved in it. This allows kelp to thrive in nutrient-rich coastal waters, where sunlight and water conditions are favorable for its growth.
