Its  chlorophyll pigment would be adapted to utilizing the blude-green spectrum of sunlight for photosynthesis rather than the red spectrum like land plants. This is because red light is absorbed by the oceans and does not reach greater depths (this is why oceans appear blue). These plants would therefore appear red in color.

Plants that live in the oceans have air-spaces in their leaves that that help them stand upright in water. They use buoyancy for structural integrity. This is why even long plants such as kelp seem to be upright in water (but will collapse when put on land).

How do homologous structures provide evidence for evolution?
asambeis [7]
The presence of a homologous structure suggests common ancestry, and further suggests that the nearest common ancestor of two organisms had the trait which is homologous. Comparison of several modern organisms with different variations of the same homologous structure can suggest what the original ancestor's actual characteristics were, and comparison of the structure in different organisms can also suggest which organisms are more or less closely related
