What is seaweed ? What are seaweeds ?

Seaweeds are plants (marine algae) that live in seawater, they don't have roots and they feed from the water around them

Just like some plants, most seaweeds have seasons,kelp can grow at the unbelievable rate of 1 to 2 feet per day under the right conditions. Marine algae reproduce by giving off spores, although most seaweeds are seasonal. Some types can live for 20 years. Seaweeds are sometimes called kelp, sea vegetables, wrack, sea algae, marine algae.

There are three main types red, brown, and green, some are 30ft long, others are only a few inches. Each type has its own characteristic texture and flavour. Seaweeds can be found from the high tide line down to a depth of 60m below the sea,
