Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complex multicellularity has evolved in several distinct lineages, including Opisthokonta (which includes animals and fungi), Archaeplastida (which includes plants), and Stramenopila (which includes some groups like brown algae). These superkingdoms contain the major examples of complex multicellular life.
