Spirogyra is referred to as a thallus because it has a simple, undifferentiated body structure that lacks true roots, stems, and leaves, characteristic of higher plants. The thallus of Spirogyra is filamentous and consists of long chains of cells that can perform photosynthesis. This form allows it to efficiently absorb nutrients and light, which is essential for its aquatic habitat.
