One pigment found in algae is chlorophyll. It's the green pigment that helps algae capture sunlight for photosynthesis, which is how they make their own food. There are different types of chlorophyll, like chlorophyll a and b, and they play a really important role in the aquatic ecosystem because they support the growth of algae, which can be food for many marine animals. Plus, chlorophyll gives algae their green color, making them easy to recognize!
