Algae: common name for a relatively simple type of eukaryotic plant which is never differentiated into root, stem and leaves; which contains chlorophyll a as the primary photosynthetic pigments; which has no true vascular system; and in which there is no sterile layer of cells surrounding the reproductive organs. The algae range in form from eukaryotic single cells to plants many metres in length. Algae can be found in most habitats on earth, although the majority occur in freshwater or marine environments. Bryophytes: The term bryophyta is used as a collective name to represent a group of plants that includes the mosses (musci), hornworts and liverworts (Hepaticae) growing predominantly in amphibious environment. These are able to live on land as well as in water. read less
