Explanation:
Algae belong to Thallophyta under the kingdom plantae. Thallophyta word is related to thallus which means a primitive body with undeveloped roots and shoots. But still, Algae resembles the higher plants in the following ways:
- Algae also contains the green photosynthetic pigment, Chlorophyll.
- It also perform photosynthesis by trapping the sunlight, hence they are autotrophs.
Algae and plants differ from each other in terms of cell number and complexity. In past, algae was a confusing issue among the biologists in the case of putting under any kingdom. But later, they concluded that algae is a primitive cryptogram and put under the category of Thallophyta.
