When ants eat the fungi, it allows the fungi to grow again. This means the ant will always have a food source and fungi will have everlasting life.
Fungi are non motile means they are not able to move.
Most fungi move by passive means; their spores are carried by wind, water, or animals. Some, the chytrid fungi, have flagella and are capable of swimming in aquatic environments.
Fungi are eukaryotic which means that on a cellular level they are closely related to other eukaryotic kingdoms such as animals and plants. Eukaryote simply means that they have a true nucleus i.e. one bound with a nuclear membrane. Bacteria and blue-green algae are prokaryotic, which means "before nucleus".
Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
it is mutualism because when the ants eat fungi it allows it to grow back. this means the fungi will have everlasting life and the ant will have a food source.
Fungi have no mechanisms what-so-ever for locomotion.

Fungi are heterotrophes, which means they get their energy from outside themselves. They do this by breaking down organic substances such as carbohydrates.
Fungi are Eukaryotic, non-vascular organisms. They are immobile and reproduce by means of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Fungi cell wall is similar in structure to that of plants but they are composed of chitin. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms.
