Explanation:
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.
Plastids are a pigment containing double membrane-bound organelle which is the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds.
Plastids are of three types on the basis of the pigments present within them:-
1. chloroplast (green plastid), 2. the chromoplast (coloured plastid) and 3. leucoplast (colourless plastid).
The term plastid was coined by Ernst Haeckel in the year 1866.
So, the correct answer is 'Haeckel'.
