State
"Land plant" names the embryophyte clade, defined by a protected, parent-retained embryo; algae is a broader label including non-embryophyte lineages.
Show
Green and red algae in Archaeplastida share chloroplast ancestry with land plants, per Bio 1997; brown algae reach that label independently.
Watch for
"Seaweed is a plant," per Bio 2167, collapses a label onto one clade — the two are not interchangeable.
