Fungi play important roles as decomposers and recyclers on Earth.Many fungi provide foods for people.Some fungi cause disease while others fight disease.Still other live in symbiosis with other organisms.
1. They are a source of food.
2. They decompose and recycle things on earth.
3. Some fight and/or cause disease.
4. Some Fungi live in together with other organisms where at least the fungi or the other organism benefit, or sometimes both. This is called symbiosis/mutualism.

Still other fungi live in symbiosis with other organisms.
There are many types of fungus ranging from mushrooms and toadstools to yeasts and other groups. The study of Fungii is called MYCOLOGY and as the literature is enormous, here we can only look at a few examples. Roughly fungii can be divided into three broad groups: 1. Saprophytes which live on dead or decaying organic matter 2 . Parasites, which infect and eventually kill living organisms 3. Symbiotics, which form a partnership with organisms such as Lichens So, 1. SAPROPHYTES these include fungii such as MUSHROOMS and TOADSTOOLS. These live on waste organic matter such as cow dung. Because the Mushroom has no means of creating its own nutriments via photosynthesis it must derive its food substances from existing organic compounds. The role of the various fungii in this regard is vital. It BREAKS DOWN the organic material and RECYCLES it into the earth. Next 2. PARASITES. We are all familiar with the fungus which invades Elm Trees and eventually kills them off. But there is another fungus that penetrates the body and brain of certain ANTS. When this happens the infected Ants die. It seems that the fungus acts as a BIOLOGICAL CHECK, thus preventing one species from dominating others. Finally, 3. SYMBIOTICS. Certain fungii form a partnership with certain types of Algae and a this is known as LICHEN. Lichen are often seen in the orange or brown spots on old walls and buildings. Over a long period, the acids released by the fungal part of the Lichen causes the material to break down and return to the earth. The partnership, SYMBIOSIS, works well. THe fungus supplies the mineral and other components derived from breaking down the stone wall. Whereas, the Algae supplies the sugars derived from its ability to synthesise sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. It does this because of the chloroplasts with which it is endowed. SO the purpose of fungii is to RECYCLE components extracted from the earth. There are other fascinating features of fungii which I leave you to think about: 1. HOW does the fungus break down organic matte? 2. Is the fungus RELATED more closely to PLANTS or ANIMALS? This is well worth investigating 3. How does a fungus REPRODUCE? You will be enthralled by this one 4. How do we USE fungii in PRODUCING FOOD or OTHER PRODUCTS? Good hunting!

Rhizopus is a fungus which belongs to class zygomycotes of kingdom fungi. Fungi are very important decomposers of nature and only bacteria is more effective decomposer then fungi, so they have a role as recyclers of material in nature.
Most vital role is decomposition .
Recycle nutrients
They are decomposers in ecosystems.
Fungi are saprophytic in nature and survive on dead and decaying organic matter and not on living organisms.

Fungi are the principal decomposers on Earth.
Breaking down plant and animal detritus so it can be recycled into the biome.
Decomposition , Recycling , used as food ,cause disease , form lichens , form mycorrhizae .etc.
Fungi is a decomposer.
For fungi. Is important as an decomposer that break dowm materials. Food scraps, clothing, and dead animals are made of organic material. Fungi is often found on rotting logs, it breaks down these materials. Fungi an bacterias are nature's recyclers. :D
Fungi decomposes waste , examples dead animals, trees.
Fungi have the role of decomposers in the food chain.
fungi decomposes the things within its ecosystem
No, fungi are either saprophytic or parasitic in nature, therefore, these are not equiped for photosynthesis.
