Explanation

Solution

Plants are multicellular, eukaryotic, and autotrophic organisms that have the ability to carry out the photosynthesis process since they contain the chlorophyll pigment. They have a rigid cell wall, a distinct nucleus, vacuole, and other cell organelles.

Complete answer:
Out of all the three kingdoms such as Kingdom Animal, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdome Mineral established by Carl Linnaeus, all plants belong to the kingdom Plantae. The kingdom Plantae is classified into five subgroups namely thallophyta, Pteridophyta, bryophyte angiosperms, and gymnosperms.
Thallophyta is a division of the plant kingdom that includes plants with a simple and primitive body structure. These mostly include plants that grow in water and range from unicellular to large fungi, algae, lichens. They exist either as branched or unbranched and may be filamentous or colonial in nature. They have a thallus plant body. Examples include algae such as spirogyra and fungi such as lichens. Spirogyra is commonly known as blanket weed, mermaid's tresses, and water silk. They are green algae which are filamentous in nature and are abundantly found in clear eutrophic water where they develop green slimy filamentous masses. They consist of a cell wall, pyrenoid, nucleus, and spiral chloroplasts. Spirogyra has the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Pteridophyta is a division of the plant kingdom that has a well-differentiated plant body into leaves, stem, and root. They can conduct water and other organic substances through a well-defined vascular system. Some examples include ferns, Marsilea, and horsetails. Ferns are non-flowering vascular plants that possess complex leaves, true stems, and roots and reproduce through spores. The majority of the Earth’s warm and damp areas are inhabited by ferns. Only a few are found in cold, dry places.
Bryophyta is a division of the plant kingdom that do not produce flowers or seeds and reproduce via spores. Though they are capable of inhabiting dry environments yet they prefer moist habitats and are limited in size. They are known as the amphibians of the plant kingdom and can live both on land and in water. Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts are vegetation that’s included in bryophyte. Some examples include Funaria, Sphagnum, Marchantia, Antheoceros, etc. One such example of a plant in the class bryophyte is a type of water moss that grows on damp, shady, and moist soil is the bonfire moss also known as Funaria hygrometrica.
Gymnosperms belong to a group of vascular plants that produce seeds directly fertilized by pollination and are not embodied in fruit or an ovary. For instance pines, firs, spruces, and ginkgos are some examples of gymnosperms. Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees that grow up to 10–260 ft. tall.
Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seed. These seeds are found in a flower. They have leaves, stems, and roots. Mustard seed is one such example of angiosperms. The seeds are used as a spice and are pressed to produce mustard oil. Another such example is an apple tree that is grown from seed and is edible.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A. Spirogyra- Thallophyta, Fern- Pteridophyta, Funaria- Bryophyta, Pinus- Gymnosperm, Appletree- Angiosperm, Mustard plant- Angiosperm.

Note: Most of the plants belong to the kingdom Plantae and have cells that have a cell wall composed of cellulose. Since they carry out photosynthesis they are autotrophic in nature and have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually.
