No. Haploid is a term used to describe the genetic makeup of an animal with only one set of sister chromosomes. Humans are diploid organisms, which means they have 46 chromosomes, two sets of 23 (one from mother, on from father). Plants (and fungi) however, have a different developmental pathway which in certain organisms can result in only one set of chromosomes, or haploid. The huge diversity of plants include haploid, diploid, and polyploid (many copies of each chromosome) species.

What is gametangium?

A gametangium is a structure in fungi, algae, and some plants that produces and encloses gametes for sexual reproduction. It can contain male gametes (sperm) or female gametes (eggs) or both. Gametangia are often specialized structures that allow for the fusion of gametes to create a zygote.

What term describes cells that contain only a single set of chromosomes?

It is called haploid.The term can be applied to a number, a nucleus, a cell, or even an entire organism, such as a male honey bee.Strictly speaking, the correct term for the number of chromosomes in one set is monoploid. "Haploid" refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete.In many animals, including humans, the two numbers are the same. In many plants there have been one or more doubling events during the course of evolution, resulting in tetraploids and so on. In such plants "monoploid" applies to the number of chromosomes in the inferred original set.
