Plant-like algae lack stems and leaves, although sometimes they have structures that can be mistaken for stems and leaves. Plant-like algae are green with cylindrical, whorled branches. They lack roots, but some species attach to the sediment. Plant-like algae tend to lie on or just above the sediments. They are found from shallow water to very deep areas (20-30 meters) in clear water. | ||||||||
Each plant-like algae species listed below is linked to a written description which is in turn linked to photographs and line drawings. >
