Virginia Master Naturalist, Basic Training Course, Botany | Plants can be defined as multicellular,
photosynthetic organisms with reproductive
structures that are more complex than
single cells. By this definition, algae are not
considered plants because they are either
unicellular or their reproductive structures
are essentially unicellular. Fungi, too, are
excluded because they are not photosynthetic.
At least 400 million years of diversification
have resulted in a wide diversity
of taxonomically distinct major groups of
plants. Some of the most important groups
of plants found in Virginia are described
below. |
