Answer:
Algae occur in aquatic (both marine and fresh water), and terrestrial habitat. They are found in damp places, water bodies, in conditions of extreme temperatures (ice cold or hot spring), on the barks of trees, on rocks and woods, on moist surfaces of various places etc. They are associated with other organisms. For example they may be present inside the tissues of other plants (endophytes), in lichens (as symbionts), or as epiphytes or parasites.
