Bacteria are considered plant because they

  • are green in colour

  • have rigid cell wall

  • have chlorophyll

  • have stomata

Solution

B.

have rigid cell wall

Presence of cell wall is the main characteristic of plants. Therefore, in bacteria, presence of rigid cell wall makes it to be a plant.

Other features such as, presence of stomata, cholorophyll and green colour does not indicate the group to be classified as plant. Eg. chlorophyll is absent in fungi, stomata is absent in algae.
