2. Is kelp a plant?

Plant [Scientific name] Laminaria japonica Aresch [Classification] Phaeophyceae, Phaeophyceae (only this class in this phylum), Laminariales, Laminariaceae, Laminaria genus. [Other names] Kelp, Jiangbaicai. [Morphology] The algae is brown, long and ribbon-shaped, leathery, generally 2-6 meters long and 20-30 centimeters wide. The algae is clearly divided into the holdfast, the stalk and the blade. The holdfast is rhizoid-shaped, the stalk is thick and short cylindrical, and the upper part of the stalk is a wide and long ribbon-shaped blade. There are two parallel shallow grooves in the center of the blade, and the middle is the middle belt, which is 2-5 mm thick. The two edges of the middle belt are thinner and have wavy wrinkles. It is also an algae plant. The part that looks like a root is just a root that plays a fixing role, and the part that looks like a leaf is called a thallus. [Origin and season] It is cultivated in the coastal areas of Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and the northern part of Guangdong Province in my country. Wild kelp can be found on rocks at a depth of 2-3 meters below the low tide line. Due to the influence of temperature difference and light from north to south, the growth and maturity of kelp are early and late. The kelp in the same sea area or on the same seedling rope also matures at different times. Therefore, the harvest period lasts from mid-May to early July. [Nutritional value] Kelp is a vegetable with high nutritional value. Every 100 grams of dried kelp contains: 8.2 grams of crude protein, 0.1 grams of fat, 57 grams of sugar, 9.8 grams of crude fiber, 12.9 grams of inorganic salt, 2.25 grams of calcium, 0.15 grams of iron, and 0.57 milligrams of carotene, 0.69 milligrams of thiamine (vitamin B1), 0.36 milligrams of riboflavin (vitamin B2), 16 milligrams of niacin, and can generate 262 kcal of calories. Compared with spinach and rapeseed, except for vitamin C, its crude protein, sugar, calcium and iron content are several times and dozens of times higher.

3. Is kelp a plant?

Kelp is a plant that grows in the sea. It can use weak sunlight to produce nutrients for its own growth. Therefore, kelp is not a plant leaf, but a plant.
