Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term FOODON:03411743 'red algae' attached as a parent. Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411743 'red 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.e789c273d0)
