Seaweeds

Seaweeds are large, plant-like algae that grow in oceans and coastal waters. They come in various colors such as green, red, and brown, and are rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike terrestrial plants, they don't have roots but absorb nutrients directly from the water. Seaweeds play a vital role in marine ecosystems by providing food and habitat for marine life, and they are also harvested for use in foods, cosmetics, and fertilizers. Their ability to grow in salty, often nutrient-rich waters makes them a sustainable resource with many ecological and commercial benefits.
