Non green plants is a term used in the past to describe fungi. Before the Whittaker 5 - kingdom system (1969), There were 4 kingdoms used in classification; bacteria, protists, plants and animals. Fungi were grouped in with plants, but because they lacked chlorophyll, they were referred to as non green plants. Today they are a separate kingdom under Domain Eukarya.
The roots of a plant are not green. A part of a plant is green because it contains chlorophyll, which is used for photosynthesis. Since no light penetrates the ground to reach the roots, the roots need no chlorophyll, and so are brown instead of green.
Mushrooms are an example of a non-green plant that is used for food. Although mushrooms are fungi and not plants, they are often included in the category of edible plants because they are used in culinary dishes.
Non-flowering plants include: conifers and other gymnosperms ferns clubmosses hornworts liverworts mosses green algae
No, this is because when you see a green plant, it is green because the plant is absorbing all light in the spectrum except for green. A plant will not use green light to power photosynthesis and the plant will die
An example of a non-vascular plant is a moss because these are land plants,and show considerably more tissue complexity than the green algae.

Yes
Fungus or Fungi
green algae
The food made in the leaves travels to the stem and does reach other parts of the plant.
For many trees during the fall, chloroplasts die out and the plant loses the green look. When this occurs, other plastids such as chromoplasts must provide the plant with photosynthesis.
The roots of a plant are not green. A part of a plant is green because it contains chlorophyll, which is used for photosynthesis. Since no light penetrates the ground to reach the roots, the roots need no chlorophyll, and so are brown instead of green.
Yes ! Lichen are the name of a double organism, consisting of a fungus and a true plant.
