Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. [1] The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. Seaweeds can also be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, industrial, etc.). A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups are not thought to have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweeds are a paraphyletic group. In addition, some tuft-forming bluegreen algae (Cyanobacteria) are sometimes considered as seaweeds — "seaweed" is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition. Seaweeds' appearance somewhat resembles non-arboreal terrestrial plants. The stipe and blade are collectively known as the frond.
