In botany terms the difference between thallophyte and tracheophyte
is that thallophyte is any of very many primitive plants that consist of a thallus (plant body not differentiated into roots, stems and leaves), formerly collected in the obsolete taxonomic group Thallophyta while tracheophyte is : Any plant possessing vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), including ferns, conifers, and flowering plants.thallophyte

(wikipedia thallophyte)Noun
(en noun)page 347,
- They[algae, fungi and mosses] lack the vascular tissues; thus, they are called thallophytes'. Algae are '''thallophytes''' with chlorophyll.Fungi are ' thallophytes without chlorophyll.

- In general, the usefulness of the thallophytes' as Hg bioindicators was limited by their sporadic occurrence in the forest environment. Because of the importance of the ' thallophytes as components of the food chain, however, several samples from different groups (summarized in Table 2) were collected for comparison with values reported in the literature.
page 66,
- Fossile(sic) records along with molecular, cytological and morphological phylogenetic work favour a single origin of land plants from charophycean thallophytes , and indicate that several major lineages of vascular plants had evolved more than 400 million years ago.

(wikipedia tracheophyte)Noun
(en noun)page 179,
- By virtue of the presence and absence of vascular tissues, the tracheophytes' and the bryophytes were also considered two distinctly different levels of anatomical organization. Largely for these reasons, the bryophytes and the ' tracheophytes are traditionally viewed as two distinct lineages, though they trace their evolutionary history back to a common ancestor.

- The tracheophytes (vascular land plants) have a fossil record beginning in the Wenlock (Edwards et al. 1983).

- There is a clear relationship between tracheophytes and trilete spores, but not with cryptospores.
