Aquatic Plants-top-open-access

modern classification of plants was proposed by plant ecologist, Robert Whittaker, who gave five divisions: monera (single-celled organism), protoctista (mainly fresh water aquatic plants), fungi (ascomycete, basidiomycete, chytria and penicillium conidiophor), plantae (algae, all seaweed and kelp) and animalia (sponge, jellyfish, insect, etc). The role of aquatic plants is so essential for survival that they belong to two divisions: Plantae and Protoctista.

Plantae is distinguished from all the other plants because its cells have cell walls made of cellulose whose basic function is to support the plant.

Protoctista also known as protista, all nucleated algae (including the sea-weeds), undulipodiated (flagellated) water molds, the slime molds and slime nets, and the protozoa
