Viridiplantae (lit. ' green plants ') [6] constitute a clade of eukaryotic organisms that comprises approximately 450,000–500,000 species that play important roles in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. [7] They include the green algae, which are primarily aquatic, and the land plants (embryophytes), which emerged from within them.

Viridiplants (Viridiplantae, 'green plants') are the clade which includes the green algae and land plants. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In some classification systems they have been called Plantae, by expanding the traditional plant kingdom (Embryophytes) to include the green algae.
Viridiplantae (literally “green plants”) are eukaryotic organisms made up of the green algae, which are primarily aquatic, and the land plants, which emerged from within the green algae. More than 350,000 species of Viridiplantae exist.
Green algae are often classified with their embryophyte descendants in the green plant clade Viridiplantae (or Chlorobionta). Viridiplantae, together with red algae and glaucophyte algae, form the supergroup Primoplantae, also known as Archaeplastida or Plantae sensu lato .
The green algae and land plants – together known as Viridiplantae (Latin for "green plants") or Chloroplastida – are pigmented with chlorophylls a and b, but lack phycobiliproteins, and starch is accumulated inside the chloroplasts. [14]
