While nostoc is often referred to as algae due to its appearance and photosynthetic ability, it is technically cyanobacteria rather than true algae. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are bacteria that perform photosynthesis, but they are classified separately from true algae because they are prokaryotic organisms, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
