Question

To which division of cryptogams do algae belong?

Answer 1

Thallophyta:

1. A cryptogam is a plant or plantlike creature (such as a fern, moss, alga, or fungus) that reproduces by spores rather than blossoms or seed.
2. Thallophyta is the division that includes algae.
3. Thallophyta comprises the most rudimentary and basic vegetation and these plants' bodies are not well-differentiated.
4. Algae are mostly aquatic. Some are terrestrial in nature.
5. These organisms are autotrophic. Starch is their reserve food.
