Algae are a simple, non-flowering, and typically aquatic plant of a large assemblage that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Example - Chlamydomonas. Fungi is a diverse group of eukaryotic single-celled or multinucleate organisms comprising the mushrooms, moulds, mildews, smuts, rusts, and yeasts. Example - Rhizopus. Angiosperms comprises those that have flowers and produce seeds enclosed within a carpel, including herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees. Example - Solanum tuberosum. Pteridophytes are the vascular plants (those having xylem and phloem tissues). They include the highly diverse true ferns and other graceful, primarily forest-dwelling plants. Example - Equisetum. Gymnosperms are seed-bearing vascular plants in which the ovules or seeds are not enclosed in an ovary. Example - Cycas.
