Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason due to which the term “algae” is not used to specify a conventional taxonomic group.
Introduction:
The algae represent a group of organisms that contain chlorophyll and are able to perform photosynthesis. A conventional or a formal taxonomic group is, however, created on the basis of the common but specific features that the organisms in the group share.
