Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Holdfasts are structures that anchor seaweed to substrates such as rocks or the ocean floor. Since the seaweed in question floats freely on the surface of deep bodies of water, it would not need holdfasts to anchor it in place. Alveoli (air sacs), bladders, and flagella are not typically found in seaweed structures.
