FLORA

__**FLORA**__ ~The three major groups of plant life are coral weed, different forms of kelp and seaweed. ~Along the edges of the marine biome, less marine biome plants are found than at the bottom.

~Coral reefs are the most complex aquatic ecosystem. -They are split into two categories: shelf reefs and oceanic reefs. -They are somewhat like plants because they are able to create their own food. -Also, they have tentacles that allow them to catch microorganisms to eat.

~Kelp is one of the many plants growing in the ocean. -It is home to many small see creatures such as barnicles and seaanemonies. -At the base of kelp forests, there are sponges, starfish, muscles, and clams. ~There are still many species of algae and aquatic plants that we are unaware of.
