It considered that all terrestrial plant species that exist today have evolved from Rhyniophyta (a type of spore plants, compiled by the most primitive forms of vascular). Now terrestrial plants presents by the Moss family, psilotaceae, lycopsids, class of the Horsetail, fern, gymnosperms and flowering plants. Based on the cladogram, It assumed that the ancestors of all existing plants are algae, particularly green.
