They are considered to be the largest plants in ocean and have the distinction of being the fastest growing plants ever. Kelps can reach to a height of about 250 feet. They stay afloat on the surface of the ocean with the help of small floatation bulbs and considered among amazing sea plants.

There are about 50 species of true seagrasses worldwide that are found within the plant families Posidoniaceae, Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae, and Cymodoceaceae. Seagrasses are sometimes found in patches, but these patches can expand to form huge seagrass beds, or meadows.eagrasses may be confused with seaweeds (marine algae), but they are not. Seagrasses are vascular plants and reproduce by flowering and producing seeds. Marine algae are classified as protists (which also includes protozoans, prokaryotes, fungi and sponges), are relatively simple and reproduce using spores.
