Charophyceans are a group of green algae that are closely related to land plants. They are found primarily in fresh water and have some characteristics, such as cellulose cell walls and similar reproductive structures, that are shared with land plants. Charophyceans are considered important in the study of plant evolution.
charophyceans are the closest relation to plant in the ancestral line. they have more specific molecular comparisons than any other. Charophytes are the only algae that share certain characteristics with plants. This suggests that they are ancestors of the modern land plant. Both have rosette-shaped cellulose-synthesizing complexes and proxisome enzymes. The structure of the flagellated sperm is similar, and both form phragmoplasts during cell division.
Charophyta is a group of green algae that includes charophyceans, which are the closest algal relatives to land plants, while Chlorophyta is a diverse group of green algae with a wide range of body forms and habitats. Charophytes have complex multicellular structures and reproductive strategies similar to land plants, while chlorophytes tend to be more simple in structure and reproductive processes.
Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants, animals, fungi, or bacterias. The 5 Super groups of Protists Include: Excavata, Chromalveolates, Rhizaria, Archaeplastida, and Unikonts. Excavata: Diplomonads, Parabalalids, Eugleozoans (Kinetoplastids and Euglenids) Chromalveolates: 1. Alveolates (Dinoflagellates, Apicomplexans, Ciliates) 2. Stramenophiles ( Golden Algae, Brown Algae, Diatoms, and Oomycetes) Rhizaria: Chlorarachniophytes, Forams, Radiolarians Archaeplastida: Red Algae, Green Algae (Cholorophytes, Charophyceans), Land Plants* Unikonts: Amoebazoans (Slime mold, Gymnamoebas, Entamoebas), and Opisthokonts ( Nucleariids, Fungi*, Choanoflagellates, Animals*) * Although these Eukaryotic groups are also kingdoms, they share similarities to certain groups of Protists. The protist kingdom is a very diverse and vast grouping that is sometimes difficult to characterize.
Land plants evolved from Charophyceans. Charophyceans lived in the water and land plants dont.

Plants are highly diverse and their are several types of plants. Two major types of plants are Green Algae ( Charophyceans) and Land Plants.From their plants evolve into:Bryophytes: non-vascular plants: [Ex: liverworts, hornworts, mosses]Next diversifying into 2 types of Vascular Plants (Seedless & Seed)Lycophytes, Pterophytes : Seedless Vascular PlantsGymnosperm, Angiosperms: Seed Vascular Plants
