Kelp needs to withstand ocean currents, so it's roots/ hold fast is adapted to dig deep into the rocks and soil to make sure it doesn't drift anywhere.
Kelp also has a very strong, fast growing stipe (stem), with floats (gas filled compartments that help the blades reach the sunlight at the surface), as this is where photosynthesis takes place, as well as mineral absorption as roots are used as anchors only. Many species can adapt their blades to their local environment, for example the blades may be wide in calm waters and thinner in exposed areas.
Many species also have their meristem in their stipe allowing them to regenerate if blades are ripped off or grazed.
