“What is the difference between seaweed and algae?
Seaweeds are a group of algae, and have some special characteristics viz. macroscopic, multi-cellular, benthic, and marine. Diversity of algae is extremely high and incomparable with that of seaweeds.
Algae could be both unicellular and multi-cellular, whereas seaweeds are necessarily multi-cellular.
All the seaweed species are autotrophic, whereas some algal species rely on other external food materials.
Algae inhabit both freshwater and marine waters, while seaweeds inhabit only seawaters.
Marine algae can distribute over shallow as well as deep waters, while seaweeds mostly inhabit shallow waters.” (Ptreyes.org)
