Answer:
The plastid is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, algae, and some other eukaryotic organisms.
Explanation:
They are considered endosymbiotic Cyanobacteria, related to the Gloeomargarita. Plastids were discovered and named by Ernst Haeckel, but A. F. W. Schimper was the first to provide a clear definition.
Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cells of autotrophic eukaryotes. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments in a plastid determine the cell's color.
Three types of plastids are chloroplasts, leucoplasts and chromoplasts
