Oophyte
(gcide) | Oophyte \O"o*phyte\, n. [Gr. w,'o`n an egg + fyto`n a plant.]
(Bot.)
Any plant of a proposed class or grand division (collectively
termed oophytes or Oophyta), which have their sexual
reproduction accomplished by motile antherozoids acting on
oospheres, either while included in their oogonia or after
exclusion.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This class was at first called Oosporeae, and is made
to include all algae and fungi which have this kind of
reproduction, however they may differ in all other
respects, the contrasted classes of Thallophytes being
Protophytes, Zygophytes, and Carpophytes. The whole
system has its earnest advocates, but is rejected by
many botanists. See Carpophyte.
