Answer:

The main difference between algae and plants is

algae may be multicellular, unicellular or colonial whereas plants are multi-cellular only.

Step-by-step explanation:

algae are different from plants in following ways

  • algae can be multicellular, unicellular or colonial whereas plants are multicellular only.
  • Algae do not have a vascular system, whereas plants have vascular system phloem and xylem, which helps in the transport of nutrients, minerals, and water.
  • plants are rooted, they cannot move, whereas algae have flagella that help in the movement.
  • Algae can be heterotrophic or autotrophic and plants are only autotrophic.
