green plants
Chlorophyll-bearing organisms
Green plants are plants that photosynthesize—those containing chlorophyll, which gives them their characteristic color and allows them to convert sunlight into energy.
The term distinguishes living, photosynthetic vegetation from dried plants, artificial plants, or non-photosynthetic organisms like fungi.
In everyday use, green plants often refers specifically to foliage houseplants kept for their leaves rather than flowers: The office could use some green plants to liven it up.
