Commonly called red algae due to the presence of red pigment, r-phycoerythrin. Mainly marine forms with bulk mass inhabiting warmer areas. Occur in well-lighted regions i.e., close to the surface of water and also in deeper areas. Red thalli of most of these species are multicellular. Some have complex body organization. Food is stored as Floridian starch similar to amylopectin and glycogen in structure.
