Chlorophyta (Green algae)

Chlorophyta, or green algae, are a diverse group of aquatic organisms found in freshwater, marine environments, and on land. They are primarily photosynthetic, meaning they use sunlight to produce food, and have chlorophyll pigments that give them a green color. Green algae can exist as single cells, simple colonies, or more complex multicellular forms. They play vital roles in ecosystems by producing oxygen and serving as food sources for various aquatic creatures. Some green algae are also closely related to land plants, sharing many structural and reproductive features.
