Thallophyta is a division of the plant kingdom including primitive forms of plant life showing a simple plant body. Including unicellular to large algae, fungi, lichens. [5] The first ten phyla are referred to as thallophytes. They are simple plants without roots stems or leaves. [6] They are non-embryophyta. These plants grow mainly in water.
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight , using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll .

Jungermanniales is the largest order of liverworts.They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thin leaf-like flaps on either side of the stem.Most other liverworts are thalloid, with no leaves.
Combined with the five-kingdom model, this created a six-kingdom model, where the kingdom Monera is replaced by the kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea. [16] This six-kingdom model is commonly used in recent US high school biology textbooks, but has received criticism for compromising the current scientific consensus. [ 13 ]
Gnetophyta (/ n ɛ ˈ t ɒ f ɪ t ə, ˈ n ɛ t oʊ f aɪ t ə /) is a division of plants (alternatively considered the subclass Gnetidae or order Gnetales), grouped within the gymnosperms (which also includes conifers, cycads, and ginkgos), that consists of some 70 species across the three relict genera: Gnetum (family Gnetaceae), Welwitschia (family Welwitschiaceae), and Ephedra (family ...
Asteroideae is a subfamily of the plant family Asteraceae.It contains about 70% of the species of the family. [2] It consists of several tribes, including Astereae, Calenduleae, Eupatorieae, Gnaphalieae, Heliantheae, Senecioneae and Tageteae.
Mosses are examples of non-vascular plants.. Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem.Instead, they may possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water.
