Other plants that colonised the sea, such as salt marsh plants, mangroves, and marine algae, have more diverse evolutionary lineages. In spite of their low species diversity, seagrasses have succeeded in colonising the continental shelves of all continents except Antarctica.
"Seaweed" lacks a formal definition, but seaweed generally lives in the ocean and is visible to the naked eye. The term refers to both flowering plants submerged in the ocean, like eelgrass, as well as larger marine algae. Generally, it is one of several groups of multicellular algae; red, green and brown.

Marine botany is the study of flowering vascular plant species and marine algae that live in shallow seawater of the open ocean and the littoral zone, along shorelines of the intertidal zone, coastal wetlands, and low-salinity brackish water of estuaries. It is a branch of marine biology and botany.
Cymodoceaceae is a family of flowering plants, sometimes known as the "manatee-grass family", which includes only marine species. [2]The 2016 APG IV does recognize Cymodoceaceae and places it in the order Alismatales, in the clade monocots.
Palmaria palmata, also called dulse, dillisk or dilsk (from Irish/Scottish Gaelic duileasc / duileasg), red dulse, sea lettuce flakes, or creathnach, is a red alga previously referred to as Rhodymenia palmata. It grows on the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is a well-known snack food.
[c] [5] A travel atlas may also be referred to as a road map. [6] A desk atlas is made similar to a reference book. It may be in hardback or paperback form. There are atlases of the other planets (and their satellites) in the Solar System. [7] Atlases of anatomy exist, mapping out organs of the human body or other organisms. [8]
Zostera sp in Mussel Ridge Channel, Birch Island, Maine. Zostera is a small genus of widely distributed seagrasses, commonly called marine eelgrass, or simply seagrass or eelgrass, and also known as seaweed by some fishers and recreational boaters including yacht captains.
Asparagopsis taxiformis (red sea plume or limu kohu), formerly A. sanfordiana, [1] is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters. [2] Researchers have demonstrated that feeding ruminants a diet containing 0.2% A. taxiformis seaweed reduced their methane emissions by nearly 99 percent.
