Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term FOODON:03412266 'seaweed' attached as a parent. Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412266 'seaweed', defined there as 'a macroscopic, multicellular, marine algae (kingdom Protista)' — the organism, not the habitat. The concept under Environmental > Aquatic > Marine is the seaweed as a place microbes live, its surface and the bed it forms. No term for that is in the vendored slice, so the organism term is kept as an xref (#99) and this is a term-request candidate distinct from the host-taxon family: it wants a macroalgal-bed style environment term.
