A plant or organism whose dominant form in its life cycle is haploid.
From Greek 'haplous' (single) + 'phyton' (plant). Used in botany to classify plants by their reproductive strategy.
Many algae are haplophytes, spending most of their life as singles before briefly forming pairs—they're basically the opposite lifestyle of what you'd expect from most plants!
