classification of thallophyta
Answers
Explanation:
Thallophytes are a polyphyletic group of non-mobile organisms traditionally described as “thalloid plants”, “relatively simple plants” or “lower plants”. They are a defunct division of kingdom Plantae, including fungus, lichens and algae and occasionally bryophytes, bacteria and the Myxomycota.
The division Thallophyta is classified into two sub-divisions:
Algae are chlorophyll-bearing thalloid, autotrophic and largely autotrophic and largely aquatic (freshwater and marine water) plants. Example: Spirogyra.
Fungi are achlorophyllous (non-green) heterotrophic thallophytes. They live as saprophytes with algae to form lichens. Example: Rhizopus.
