Members of class Rhodophyceae are commonly known as red algae. The name comes from Greek rhodon = rose/red.
Their characteristic red colour is due to the dominant pigment phycoerythrin (with phycocyanin and chlorophylls a and d), which masks the green chlorophyll. They are mostly marine and store food as floridean starch.
