Kelp is developed from spores and relies on photosynthesis to accumulate nutrients and promote its own growth. There are some sporangia on the leaves of kelp, which contain spores. Spores will enter the sea during the breeding season, drift with the water, and attach themselves to objects that can be attached. When the surrounding environment is suitable, the spores will begin to germinate, and then accumulate nutrients through photosynthesis and grow gradually. In fact, the growth rate of kelp is relatively fast, and it can grow very long.
How and where does kelp grow?

1. How does kelp grow

? Kelp is a kind of plant living in the ocean. Its body is relatively long, basically it can grow to more than 1 meter, and even longer can grow to more than ten meters or more. Laminaria originally developed from spores. There are some sporangia on the leaves of kelp, and there are many spores in them. When the breeding season comes, these spores will leave the sporangium, enter the sea, swim with the current, and stop to attach to objects such as rocks. When the surrounding environment is suitable, the spores will germinate and begin to grow. Because kelp belongs to plants, they are also autotrophs, that is to say, they can store nutrients in themselves through photosynthesis, thus growing up, and the growth rate of kelp is relatively fast.

However, in real life, there are many factors that affect the growth of kelp, and the surrounding water environment has a greater impact on their growth and development. Water temperature, water quality, water flow rate and oxygen content can affect the growth of kelp to a certain extent.

2. Where

does kelp grow? It has been introduced above that kelp is a kind of creature living in the ocean. Its specific distribution area is mainly in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean and the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Specifically, it is widely distributed in the sea areas of Korea, Japan, China and other countries. Kelp does not like to grow in places where the water temperature is too high, so it is less distributed in low latitudes, mainly in high latitudes. Wild kelp basically clings to rocks, while artificial breeders prepare ropes for them.
