Are Charophytes vascular?

Solution

Charophytes:

  1. Charophytes are a group of green algae that are mostly found in freshwater habitats.
  2. Example: Spirogyra (water silk).
  3. They are free-floating organisms and undergo oxygenic photosynthesis.
  4. Vascular plants contain vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem. These tissues play a vital role in water, mineral, and food transport.
  5. Charophytes are non-vascular and similar to algae.
  6. They are made of ‘thalloid’ since they lack well-defined leaves, stems, or roots. They have rhizoids that aid in the absorption of moisture and provide the plant with mechanical support.
