Are seaweed and algae the same thing?

Asked by La_chica_gomela (12574points) September 9th, 2009

Sorry if that’s a dumb question. From wikipedia, it seems like they are: “Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae.” Or is seaweed a certain kind of algae, so all seaweed is algae, but not all algae is seaweed?
