Plants and fungi are very different organisms in the world. These two organisms do however share the fact that they always have a cell wall.
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
fungi & animals
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
Mutualism best fits the know traits of fungi and plants. The fungi provides soil nutrients to the plant and the plant provides food to the fungi.
Herbivore eat plants, fungi exclusively. Omnivore eat plants and/or fungi and meat.
fungi were once classified as plants.
Unlike plants fungi are not primary producers. Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other life forms.
Plants have chlorophyll and make energy from light; fungi don't.
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.
Fungi obtain nutrients by forming a symbiotic relationship with plants known as mycorrhizae. The fungi help plants absorb water and essential minerals, while the plants provide sugars and other organic compounds to the fungi. This mutually beneficial relationship allows both the fungi and the plants to thrive.
Fungi is part of the Plant Kingdom.
No a legume is a type of plant and fungi are not plants.
