phaeophyta (brown algae)

The largest brown algae may reach over 30 meters in length.

Phaeophytes, have traditionally been classified as plants. However, phaeophytes are not closely related to land plants; their cells contain different pigments, such as chlorophyll c and fucoxanthin. They also lack the plasmodesmata and starch production of land plants and their relatives.
