I think they're sponges.

>>8937398
No they're algae

No, but plants descended from algaes

>>8937446
They do? Or they have a commun ancestor?

>>8937467
They descended from green algae (charophytes), and they share a common ancestor with the other types of algae

>>8937446
Why are green algae under plantae?

Where do you see that?

>>8937475
I think the reason why plants doesn´t go under charophytes in the caldogram is because they evolved from charophytes when they adapted to life on land, meanwhile the charophytes continued to live in water. So they didn´t evolve like the classical "one species slowly changing to another species" way, but rather formed a sister group.

If that makes sense

Algae refers to very diverse organisms that can be found in many unrelated taxa, and as such it's not on the same "level" as plants for example which is the common name for the kingdom plantae (which includes some algae btw)

It's like if you asked are flying animals mammals ?

I'd tell you some mammals do fly, not all, and that you can find flying animals out of mammals. Same with Algae and plants

In modern biology
