Like microalgae, macroalgae (seaweeds) can be regarded as marine protists since they are not true plants. But they are not microorganisms, so they are not within the scope of this article. Unicellular organisms are usually microscopic, less than one tenth of a millimeter long. There are exceptions.

Life history; The algae in the Protist kingdom can be placed into three different categories of macroalgae/seaweeds—phaeophyta, rhodophyta or chlorophyta. The microalgae in these marine environments can be categorized into four varieties—pyrrhophyta, chrysophyta, euglenophyta or cryptophyta.

The presence of chloroplasts and subsequent capacity for photosynthesis give marine macroalgae an ecological role as primary producer that is similar to other marine plants, notably “seagrasses.” However, seagrasses are not seaweeds; rather, they are rooted, flower, and seed-bearing “higher” plants (Angiosperms).
