They are often found on rocks and trees and lichens may grow in combination with mosses which are also found in these locations. as moss found on rocks and trees
How long can lichen live?

Algae mostly inhabit marine water, but can also be found in fresh water rivers(eg: Batrachospermum), standing water(eg: Ulothrix), and hot water(eg: Chlorella). Algae also inhabit terrestrial habitats like moist soil and walls, bark of trees, polar regions( eg: Haematococcus nivalis which develops red snow in polar regions), etc. They also occur inside plants and animals, like Zoochlorella and Zooxanthellae which occur inside the body of Hydra(symbiotic relationship).
