Actually, it depends on the specific type of algae. Some are plants, but most algae is neither plant nor animal. It is a bacterium - a large, single-celled organism. or Algae (Seaweed ) is an autotrophic organism. An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules using energy from light ( photosynthesis ) or inorganic chemical reactions.
