Viridiplantae (green plants) are a clade of photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophylls a and b, produce and store their photosynthetic products inside a double-membrane-bounded chloroplast, and have cell walls that typically contain cellulose. As photoautotrophic organisms, green plants are capable of converting carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. Thus, carbohydrates are not limiting and their utilization throughout a plant's life cycle has expanded enormously both in functionality and structural diversity.
绿色植物是一类光合生物，含有叶绿素a和b，在双膜包裹的叶绿体中产生并储存光合产物，其细胞壁通常含有纤维素。作为光合自养生物，绿色植物能够将二氧化碳转化为碳水化合物。因此，碳水化合物并非限制因素，并且它们在植物整个生命周期中的利用在功能和结构多样性方面都有了极大的扩展。
