No, a lichen is actually made up of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium that live together in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The fungus provides a protected environment and absorbs nutrients, while the alga or cyanobacterium photosynthesizes to produce food for both partners.

What is the symbiotic relationship in lichen?
some organisms live together and share shelter and nutrients, this is called symbiotic relationship. in organisms like lichens a chlorophyll- containing partner which is an alga, and a fungus live together. the fungus provides shelter, water and minerals to the alga while in return the alga provides food which it prepares by the process of photosynthesis.
What is a protist species that obtains nutrition by external digestion?

Is lichen a vascular plant?
Actually, although lichen looks like a plant, it is actually mainly a fungus. It is a specialized fungus with either some cyanobacteria or unicellular algae living inside it, producing food. Really, its a symbiotic relationship.
Lichen is a symbiotic associated between what two things?
A lichen species is a mixture of one species of fungus and one species of alga so that both species together work as a single organism. Usually the fungus gives the lichen its shape and the alga cells lie spread between the thread-like fungus cells. The alga produce carbohydrates and other organic molecules for both itself and the fungus by means of photosyntesis. The fungus furnishes minerals, humidity and protection for the alga, and exposes the alga for the sun. Both species have usually capability also to grow alone. A lichen multiply usually by buddings that brake off and establishes itself as a new individual.
What are the 3 protists?
Animal like Protist, Fungus like Protist, and Plant like Protist
Is algae a fungus like protist?
No
Is brown algae a fungus-like protist?
No
Are fungus-like protist multicellular?
Some fungus-like protists are multicellular, such as the plasmodial slime molds. These organisms consist of a mass of cytoplasm with many nuclei but no cell walls, leading to a multinucleate structure. Other examples, like water molds, can be unicellular or multicellular depending on the species.
How do fungus like protist move?
They move with flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
Is water mold a fungus-like protist?
