Thalloid is an adjective of the word thallus. In Latinized Greek, thallos means a green shoot or twig having undifferentiated vegetative tissue of some organisms like algae, fungi, lichens and some liverworts etc.
The word thallus is used to introduce those entire multicellular non vascular plants body in which there is neither organization nor differentiation of tissues into root, stem and leaves like structures or organs. Thus it may clear that; the organism or structure which resemble to the thallus is called thalloid. Sometimes it is also called as thallodal/ thalliform/ thalline or thallose.
Exceptionally some vascular plants like Lemnoideae showing thallus like structures are sometimes referred as thalloid.
Thallus usually names the entire body of a multicellular non-moving organism in which there is no organization of the tissues into organs.[1] Even though thalli do not have organized and distinct parts (leaves, roots, and stems) as do the vascular plants, they may have analogous structures that resemble their vascular "equivalents". The analogous structures have similar function or macroscopic structure, but different microscopic structure; for example, no thallus has vascular tissue. In exceptional cases such as the Lemnoideae, where the structure of a vascular plant is in fact thallus-like, it is referred to as having a thalloid structure, or sometimes as a thalloid...
