algae is not a plant. Algae is actually a colony of oragnized cells working in unison. That's why it's so easy to take apart. It produces chlorophyl and photosynthesizes, but is not a plant. Algae is typically aquatic and reproduces by budding or by spores.

Some very primitive algae have characteristics of both plant and animal cell, which led to disputes over their proper classification. That's all I remember, but that may provide you with a direction in which to search. Good luck!
