Charophyte - Stoneworts
A freshwater algae with a shape similar to that of the fern horsetail, it is classified as an independent group due to its characteristics of having a main axis composed of nodes and internodes, having whorls of twigs growing from the main axis, and having sexual reproductive organs with a complex multicellular structure. It is also called ring algae. Its name comes from the shape of the whorls of twigs. It belongs to the green plants phylogenetically because it contains chlorophyll a and b , produces starch through photosynthesis, and has sperm with two whip-shaped flagella of equal length.
