Question

Blanks are a group of plants having a composite thallus consisting of an alga and a fungus

Answer 1

Answer:

Thallophyta are the group of plants having a 'composite thallus' consisting of "an alga and a fungus".

Explanation:

Thallophytes are a polyphyle group of non-mobile organisms grouped together based on traits resemblance, but do not share a common ancestor. They were previously classified as a Plantae Kingdom sub-kingdom. These include lichens, algae, fungi, moulds and bryophytes of fungi and slime.

Characteristics of Thallophyta:

• Usually they are discovered in wet or humid locations.
• This is due to the lack of "real roots" and vascular tissue required for water and minerals to be transported.  
• They are autotrophic.
• Most of this group's members produce their own food. But some members, such as fungi depend on other food sources.
