Algae
"Algae - are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. They are photosynthetic, like plants and "simple" because they lack the many distinct organs found in land plants."
