The Hawaiian way to say seaweed is limu. It is one of the sources we use for food. There are about 420 species that grow in Hawaii. 13 of the 420 species can only be found here in Hawaii. Seaweed can be found in different colors (red, green or brown), shapes and sizes. It is mostly found near the shore, in the intertidal zone. Seaweed is gathered at beaches, near shore waters, and can also be found in vast underwater forests or floating on the water's surface. Seaweed can be very tiny or stretch to 300 ft or 100 m. That's like from the ocean floor to the surface!Seaweed is like an underwater weed because it grows freely and often times plentiful, but it is used for many things and is not a weed at all. Seaweed has many plant-like features, but they are not true vascular plants, they are marine algae. Algae is part of the Kingdom Protista, they are neither plants nor animals.
also,seaweed can live up to 500 meters deep in the sea.Seaweeds cousin
protists,can cause harmful things to the sea killing fish,even sometimes
humans.This is called a red tide.This can also be caused by blue-green
algae.

Seaweed belongs to the phylum Algae, which includes a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms. Within the phylum Algae, seaweed is classified in different classes based on its characteristics and pigments. Some common classes of seaweed include Chlorophyceae (green algae), Phaeophyceae (brown algae), and Rhodophyceae (red algae).
Seaweeds are classified into three major groups; the green algae, the brown algae, and the red algae. Placement of seaweed into one of these groups is based on the pigments and colouration existing in the plant. Other seaweed features that are used to classify algae include: cell wall composition, reproductive characteristics, and the chemical nature of the photosynthetic products. Plant structure, form and shape are additional characteristics used to classify seaweed.
It's fresh water seaweed. Seaweed grows in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and other water bodies. Seaweed is a micro-organism comprised of algae. Algae does not contain the plant characteristics of stems, leaves, roots etc, but does contain clorophyll which allows it to grow by photosynthesis. There are thousands of species of seaweed and they come in green, red and brown colours.
