==Nie-vaatplantgroepe==
Die term nie-vaatplant word nie meer in wetenskaplike benaming bebruik nie. Nie-vaatplant sluit twee onderskeibare verwante groepe in:
The term non-vascular plant is no longer used in scientific nomenclature. Non-vascular plants include two distantly related groups:
* [[BryophyteBriofiet]]se - thedie [[moss|Bryophyta]] (mossesmosse), thedie [[Marchantiophyta|Hepaticophyta]] (liverwortslewermosse), anden thedie [[hornworthoringblad|Anthocerotophyta]] (hornwortshoringblad). In thesedie groups,groepe theis primarydie plantsprimêre areplante thedie [[haploidhaploïed]]e [[gametophytegametofiet]]se, withmet theslegs onlydie [[diploiddiploïed]]e portiongedeelte beingwat theaan attacheddie [[sporophytesporofiet]], consistingwat ofuit a'n stalksteel anden [[sporangium]]. bestaan, Becausegeheg theseis. plantsOmdat lackdie theplante water-conductingwatergeleidende tissuesweefsel ontbreek, theykan failhulle toniue achievedie thestrukturele structuralkompleksiteit complexityen andgrootte sizevan of mostmeeste [[vascular plantvaatplant]]se bereik nie.
* [[Alg]]e - veral [[groenalg]]e. Onlangse ondersoeke het aangetoon dat die alge in werklikheid uit verskeie onverwante groepe bestaan. Dit blyk dat gemene eienskappe soos 'n waterhabitat en [[fotosintese]] misleidende aanduiders van 'n naby-verwantskap was. Slegs die groenalge word steeds as familie van die plante beskou.
* [[Alga]]e - especially the [[green algae]]. Recent studies have demonstrated that the algae actually consist of several unrelated groups. It turns out that common features of living in water and [[photosynthesis]] were misleading as indicators of close relationship. Only the green algae are still considered relatives of the plants.
Beide die groepe word met tye as "laerplante" beskryf; die term "laer" verwys na die plante se status as die vroegste plante om te [[evolusie|ontwikkel]] het. Die term is egter nie eksak nie, aangesien dit baie keer ook gebruik word om sommige [[vaatplant]]e, naamlik die varings en varingverwante plante aan te dui.
Both of these groups are occasionally termed the "lower plants"; the term "lower" refers to these plants' status as the earliest plants to [[evolve]]. However, the term "lower" plants is not precise, since it frequently is used to include some [[Vascular tissue|vascular]] plants, the [[fern]]s and [[fern ally|fern allies]].
In die verlede het die term ''nie-vaatplant'' alle alge ingesluit en soms ook die [[swam]]me. Vandag word erken dat die groepe nie nabyverwant is aan plante nieen dat hulle [[biologie]]s baie van plante verskil.
In the past, the term ''non-vascular plant'' included all the [[alga]]e, but also the [[fungus |fungi]] as well. Today, it is recognized that these groups are not closely related to plants, and have a very different [[biology]].
