$\huge\bold\red{ANSWER}$

Division of Thallophyta

• The division Thallophyta is classified into two subdivisions: Algae and Fungi.

>>>> Thallophytes are a polyphyletic group of non-mobile organisms that are grouped together on the basis of similarity of characteristics but do not share a common ancestor. They were formerly categorized as a sub-kingdom of kingdom Plantae. These include lichens, algae, fungus, bacteria and slime moulds and bryophytes.

Explanation:

Characteristics of Thallophyta

• They are usually found in moist or wet places.
• This is due to the absence of “true roots” and vascular tissue that is needed to transport water and minerals. Hence they are found in moist or wet places.
• They are autotrophic in nature.
• Most members of this group manufacture their own food. But a few members like fungi are dependent on other sources of food.,
• Reserve food is generally starch.
