C. Assertion is true but the Reason is false
Step-by-step solution
Fungi, and members of the Monera and Protista having cell walls have now been excluded from Plantae though earlier classifications placed them in the same kingdom. So, the cyanobacteria that are also referred to as blue green algae are not 'algae' anymore. We describe Plantae under Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.
