According to Eichler's classification, Plant kingdom is divided into two sub-divisions:
(i) cryptogamae
(ii) phanerogamae.
Cryptogamae is further divided into 3 divisions- thallophyta, bryophyta and pteridophyta. Thallophyta in further divided into 2 classes, algae and fungi. Both of these groups have generally undifferentiated plant body ie, they are not differentiated into true root, stem and leaves, hence they are called thallophyta. Also they are non vascular plants. But algae are chlorophyllous and hence show autotrophic mode of nutrition ie can prepare their own food. But fungi are non- chlorophyllous and cannot prepare their own food. So they are heterotrophic in nature.
