Kelps can range in size from the 60-centimeter-tall (2 ft) sea palm Postelsia to the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera, which grows to over 50 m (150 ft) long [8] [9] and is the largest of all the algae.
Just one example is the giant bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana, which have evolved to change blade shape in order to increase drag in water and interception of light when exposed to certain environments. Bull kelp are not unique in this adaptation; many kelp species have evolved a genetic plasticity for blade shapes for different water flow ...
Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, an example of a multicellular stramenopile, is a large seaweed, up to 45 metres (150 feet) long, in the Phaeophyceae, within the Gyrista. Some stramenopiles are significant as autotrophs and as heterotrophs in natural ecosystems; others are parasitic.
