Answer: Red algae

Step-by-step explanation:

The floridian starch is a storage food material that is typically found in the members of the algae belonging to the class of Rhodophyceae or red algae. It is found in red algae in the form of grains or granules inside the cytoplasm. It is typically composed of α linked glucose units. The α linkage exists between the amylopectin and glycogen.
