Seaweeds are not plants. They are protists. They differ from plants in that they lack vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), they have holdfasts instead of roots, and their cells do not have all of the plant characteristics.

Seaweeds are multicellular algae that live in marine environments, while plants are multicellular organisms that grow on land or in freshwater. Seaweeds do not have true roots, stems, or leaves like plants do, and they rely on water for support and nutrients. Additionally, seaweeds reproduce through spores, while plants reproduce through seeds.
