CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. FOODON:03412502 'green algae' kept as an xref. Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412502 'green algae', which FOODON uses for the TAXON — red algae is defined there as 'one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae, and one of the largest phyla' — not for a habitat. An organism group is not a place, and the GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the alga provides. Same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile requests. The FOODON term is kept as an xref (#99), which records what the label matched without asserting the record is a phylum. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.184cc9e802)

DEFINED
Defined as 'green-alga-associated environment' under ENVO:01001001 'plant-associated environment'. Definition curated from the committed deep-research report. Green algae are Viridiplantae, so plant-associated environment is the tightest existing ontology parent even though algae as a whole are polyphyletic; the GOLD hierarchy separately preserves alga-associated environment as the immediate HabitatMech parent, and the FOODON taxon term remains an xref.
