yes, it is both- that is why they call it Giant Kelp- it is huge, and can grow to 40 m or maybe more. There are forests of it on the coast where I grew up. The otters love it, they tie themselves to it and snooze away, relatively safe from predators, who have a hard time swimming through it.

One of my favorite soups as a child was seaweed soup. Not sure what kind of seaweed it was, though. I don't think it was kelp.

There are major differences between salt water algae (kelp, etc) and
fresh water algae, the first being that nearly all sea water kelp and
other algae is safe to eat, and many different kinds are used as food
all over the world.
