Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is in nature largely photoautotrophic (obtaining all its energy from photosynthesis). However, it can grow heterotrophically when supplied with a suitable carbon source (acetate is commonly used). This is quite an artificial situation, but allows it to be grown in laboratories in the dark, and to grow mutants which are unable to perform photosynthesis.

Chlamydomonas is a genus of green algae, which are in the Plant kingdom. Land plants evolved from green algae, but major genetic differences still exist between land plants and green algae. As such, you could classify Chlamydomonas as a plant cell. However, Chlamydomonas species do things that most plants do not, such as swim.
