Is mold a micro organism

Answer 1

Mold is the common term used to describe a downy or furry growth on the surface or organic matter, caused by fungi, especially in the presence of dampness and decay. A fungus (pl. fungi) may be any of a large number of microorganisms that are parasites feeding on living organisms or dead organic matter. Mold is often used interchangeably with the word mildew. They are the generic terms that describe a variety of microorganisms, including fungi, algae, rusts, yeasts, and bacteria, that are agents of deterioration for museum objects. They produce irregular stains that can permanently damage an object. Collection managers must be able to recognize signs of these problems and be prepared to take preventive action

Answer 2

Yes mold is a type of micro organism.

Mold is a threadlike variety of fungus that grows throughout nature wherever there is dead organic matter. Individual mold organisms are virtually invisible; mold becomes visible only when a mold colony forms. A mold colony is an unusual biophysical entity because all the mold in the colony unites to form a single integrated organism rather than a collection of individuals such as a yeast colony or bacteria colony.

For what it's worth, molds, yeasts and other fungal organisms inhabit a middle ground between plants and animals, but are more closely related biologically to animals than to plants. Be a good sport; take a mold to lunch.
