Types of seaweed. Seaweeds are classified into brown algae (Phaeophyta), red algae (Rhodophyta), and green algae (Chlorophyta). Note that in reality the term algae is mainly used for convenience, rather than taxonomic purposes, as there appears little relationship between the various phyla.
Seaweed, which is a type of phytoplankton, is commonly found floating on the surface of the ocean. It is harvested by people for food and material for housing, baskets and ropes. Seagrasses are rooted marine plants that live on the ocean floor. These flowering plants provide habitat for small fish and other marine life. Types of seagrasses include shoal grass, manatee grass and turtle grass. Red algae live in warm tropical water, while coralline algae grow on rocks. The ocean also has an abundance of kelp beds that grow in cold temperate regions.
