"Reproduction is a complex affair in seaweeds. Asexual reproduction is more important than sexual reproduction in most species."

True. Asexual reproduction is more common in seaweeds as it allows for rapid colonization, better survival in changing environmental conditions and any genetic mutations that may arise can be passed on quickly to offspring. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, requires the presence of male and female gametes, which may be difficult in certain environments, and also provides less genetic variation due to the limited number of possible mating partners. However, sexual reproduction is still important in seaweeds for the spread of genetic diversity and to enable adaptation to changing environmental conditions over time.
