Not in the paper data at least. It does have plastids which I had to look up (been a while since gen bio). So triple endosymbiont actually. Again if data holds to further scrutiny.
I think plastid is the generic term for that organelle family and chloroplasts are plastids specialized for photosynthesis.
So they probably don’t want to state the plastids have a function they havent confirmed or something like that

If it’s a eukariotic algea, does it also have cloroplasts?
