Could a dryad species be scientifically plausible?

On a fantasy-themed planet with Earth-like humans and plants, over a very long period of time, a dryad-like species has evolved. Dryads look mostly like regular humans, but they have a few qualities that differentiate them, like green hair, special reactions to sunlight (see Zotoh Zhaan from Farscape, whose skin changes color) and so on.

Clearly they have something in their genetic makeup that makes them closely related to both humans and plants. Is a species with both human and plant DNA plausible?
