Answer:
The red colour of red algae (Rhodophyta) is due to the abundant formation of r-phycoerythrin which is a red colour pigment. Phycoerythrin absorbs blue-green wavelengths of light and reflects red light and thus imparts a red colour to algae.
Red algae are red because of the presence of the pigment phycoerythrin; this pigment reflects red light and absorbs blue light. ... Some rhodophytes have very little phycoerythrin, and may appear green or bluish from the chlorophyll and other pigments present in them.
