Isn't that seaweed? I'm confused.



"Seaweed" is a rather ill-defined term in English that regroups a lot of different algae. Nori is made from red algae, that are included under the term seaweed.


Seaweed is a very confusing term, yes.

Should be used for marine weeds [upper plants with flowers], but the term refer to algae that are a different category. Some algae are plants. Other are neither plants, animals or fungi and have their own category.
