An order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae that includes bristle-bearing filamentous species.
Derived from Chaetophora with the taxonomic order suffix '-ales,' placing various bristle-bearing green algae families within a larger evolutionary grouping.
Chaetophorales represent a fascinating evolutionary crossroads—they're simple enough to be single-celled or filamentous but complex enough to show the first signs of multicellular organization that would eventually lead to land plants.
