Charophyta (UK: / k ə ˈ r ɒ f ɪ t ə, ˌ k ær ə ˈ f aɪ t ə /) is a group of freshwater green algae, called charophytes (/ ˈ k ær ə ˌ f aɪ t s /), sometimes treated as a division, [2] yet also as a superdivision [3] or an unranked clade.
Zygnematophyceae (or Conjugatophyceae) is a class of green algae in the paraphylum streptophyte algae, also referred to as Charophyta, [2] consisting of more than 4000 described species. [3] The Zygnematophyceae are the sister clade of the Embryophyta (land plants).
Charophyceae is a class of charophyte green algae. AlgaeBase places it in division Charophyta. [1] Extant (living) species are placed in a single order Charales, [2] commonly known as "stoneworts" and "brittleworts".

The Zygnemataceae are a family [2] of filamentous or unicellular, uniseriate (unbranched) green algae.The filaments are septated and reproduction is by conjugation; Spirogyra is commonly used in schools to demonstrate this kind of reproduction.
Characeae is a family of freshwater green algae in the order Charales, commonly known as stoneworts.They are also known as brittleworts or skunkweed, from the fragility of their lime-encrusted stems, and from the foul odor these produce when stepped on.
Mougeotia is able to reproduce sexually, through a process known as conjugation. It is isogamous, with two different but identically appearing gamete types. [4]In scalariform conjugation, cells of two separate filaments line up parallel to one other.
The plant body is a gametophyte.It consists of the main axis (differentiated into nodes and internodes), dimorphic branches (long branch of unlimited growth and short branches of limited growth), rhizoids (multicellular with oblique septa) and stipulodes (needle-shaped structures at the base of secondary laterals).
