1. Thallophyte

   Thallophytes (Thallophyta, Thallophyto or Thallobionta) are a polyphyletic group of non-motile organisms traditionally described as "thalloid plants", "relatively simple plants" or "lower plants". They form a division of kingdom Plantae that include lichens and algae and occasionally bryophytes, bacteria and slime moulds. Thallophytes have a hidden reproductive system and hence they are also incorporated into the similar Cryptogamae category (together with ferns), as opposed to Phanerogamae. Thallophytes are defined by having undifferentiated bodies (thalloid, pseudotissue), as opposed to cormophytes (Cormophyta) with roots and stems. Various groups of thallophytes are major contributors to marine ecosystems.

1. thallophyte

   A thallophyte is a general term for any plant type that does not have leaves, roots, or stems and includes an organ or body known as a thallus. These organisms, usually lower forms of plant life such as algae, fungi, and lichens, lack specialized tissues for the transportation of water, nutrients, and other substances. They reproduce asexually, by fragmentation, spore formation, or binary fission.

1. Thallophyte

   The thallophytes are a polyphyletic group of non-mobile organisms traditionally described as "relatively simple plants" or "lower plants" with undifferentiated bodies. They were a defunct division of Kingdom Plantae, the Thallophyta that included fungus and algae, and lichens occasionally bacteria and the Myxomycota.They have a hidden reproductive system and hence they are also called cryptogamae. They are sometimes referred to as "thalloid plants", as opposed to vascular plants. Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher, a 19th-century Austrian botanist, separated the Vegetable Kingdom into the Thallophytes and the Cormophytes in 1836. Thallophytes were known as the Thallogens according to John Lindley, an English botanist in the nineteenth century. Likewise, Cormophytes were also known as Cormogens in the Lindley system. The term was used only in former classifications, comprising what is now considered a heterogeneous assemblage of flowerless and seedless organisms: algae, bacteria, fungi and lichens.
