Thallophyta These are the plants with no body differentiation They do have a specific root, stem, leaves so they do not have specific differentiation They prefer aquatic habitats examples :-green algae In thallophyta they have a hidden reproductive system -cryptogamae Algae They are autotrophic Habitat :- Mostly aquatic (freshwater/ marine ) , found in most soil/ wood Structure :- It can be unicellular,colonial, filamanteous Examples :-volvox ( colonial ), Chlamydomonas (unicellular ), Ulothrix (filamenteous ), Spirogyra ( filamenteous ), Ulva, Cladophora (branched filaments) it is also known as river weed Algae reproduction Asexual reproduction :- Fragmentation Parent organism will break into new pieces or multiple pieces on maturity, each of which give rise to a new individual. Example :- spirogyra when it becomes matures it breaks into new pieces and each of these pieces are able to give rise to a new organism altogether. Fission
P LA NT KINGDOM Plantae : characterstics Eukaryotes :-specific membrane bound cell organelle & distinct nucleus Multicellular :- they are made up of multiple cells Autotrophic :- prepare their own food Immobile They can be aquatic or land plants Their cell walls are present Classification system Artificial Natural Phylogenetic Artificial classification system External morphological characters Advantages :-closely related species could be classified Limitations :- Equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characterstics Natural classification system External as well as internal characters are the basis of classification Advantages :-overshadows limitations of artificial system Establishes relationship between organism Limitations :-closely related organism can differ in important properties Phylogenetic classification system Evolutionary relationships between organisms are the basis of classification

He classified organisms based on habitats Land (terrestrial) -cat, dogs,human beings water(aquatic )-fish,shark,octopus Air(aerial )-bat,crow etc. He classified plants also; Herbs Shrubs Trees But then this type of classification is not very effective,because it was seen that even though there were several
