  1. Embryophyte

    Superdivision of plants

    The embryophytes are a clade of plants, also known as Embryophyta or land plants. They are the most familiar group of photoautotrophs that make up the vegetation on Earth's dry lands and wetlands. Embryophytes have a common ancestor with green algae, having emerged within the Phragmoplastophyta clade of freshwater charophyte green algae as a sister taxon of Charophyceae, Coleochaetophyceae and Zygnematophyceae. Embryophytes consist of the bryophytes and the polysporangiophytes. Living embryophytes include hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Embryophytes have diplobiontic life cycles. The embryophytes are informally called "land plants" because they thrive primarily in terrestrial habitats, while the related green algae are primarily aquatic. Embryophytes are complex multicellular eukaryotes with specialized reproductive organs. Wikipedia

    The same holds for streptophyte algae (strict freshwater preference, with only a few Charales that tolerate brackish habitats), and for the Embryophyta with primary terrestrial origin and adaptation, many secondary freshwater plants (bryophytes, ferns and angiosperms), and only very few derived angiosperms adapted to marine, fully saline ...

    Embryophyta. Moss, clubmoss, ferns and cycads growing in a greenhouse. Embryophytes are land plants. They are the most familiar kinds of plants, the bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms and flowering plants. Only a few embryophytes are water plants. They don't include the algae.
