Talófito

The therophytes are multicellular plant organisms that do not have tissues nor the set of organs characteristic of vascular plants, that is, they do not have stems, roots and leaves; the body is called undifferentiated from these organisms. They are not a taxon (a group of biological classification), but constitute a polyphyletic group (not from an immediate common ancestor, but from several) of organisms that are traditionally and arguably described as "lower plants". In the past they were treated as a division of the "Vegetable Kingdom", the Thalophyta (or Talobionta) which included fungi and algae, lichens and, occasionally, Myxomycophyta.

They are sometimes called "thalous plants" as opposed to vascular plants. In the S. In the 19th century, Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher (Austrian botanist) divided the Plant Kingdom (equivalent to the sum of the Plantae kingdoms, the plants themselves, and Fungi, true fungi plus a part of the Protist kingdom) in therophytes and cormophytes (vascular plants) in 1836. The term is obsolete, because it corresponds neither to a group of the taxonomic classification of living beings, nor to a biotype, would correspond to an evolutionary "degree", a concept of very limited utility once it has been overcome in science teleological notion of scale of being.

Algae are talophytes (the autotrophs that are not plants and are embedded in the realm of protists), fungi (currently the fungi are not classified as plants but constitute a proper kingdom, called the Fungi kingdom), lichens ( symbiotic associations of algae with fungi) and bryophytes.
