Chlorophyta
Algae are tiny plants that live in water and make food from sunlight, just like trees do on land. They come in many colors like green, red, and brown, and provide homes for small water creatures.
Hábitat: Aquatic
The Algae is incredibly diverse, appearing as tiny green films, long brown strands, or complex red fronds. It can form slimy coatings on rocks or large, leaf-like structures swaying in the water, often vibrant green, brown, or red.
