👉 Chlorarachniophyceae are a group of marine algae that belong to the family Chlorarachniaceae, which is also known as the Chlorophycean or Chloroplastae. They are characterized by their distinct appearance and function in photosynthesis, where they capture light energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in organic compounds called chlorophyll. This process is essential for life on Earth and is crucial for the functioning of many aquatic ecosystems.
