thallophyte

any plant of the group (or former division) Thallophyta, containing the most primative types of plants characterized by the possession of a THALLUS. They vary in size from unicellular types to giant seaweeds up to 75 m in length. The group includes Algae, Bacteria, Fungi, slime fungi (Myxomycetes) and lichens. The Thallophyta clearly have several different evolutionary origins and the term is not used in modern systematics.
