Sushi roll wrapper
Seaweed is the common name for marine algae—plant-like organisms that grow in oceans and along coastlines.
Some varieties are eaten: nori wraps sushi, kelp adds umami to broths.
Seaweed washes up on beaches in tangled masses.
It also refers to these organisms collectively: The bay was thick with seaweed.
