lichen
Another name for Cyanobacteria is Blue Green Algae.But it is an old name used to call it.
A lichen is between the two biological kingdoms fungi and protista. Therefore it is a cross between being a fungi and a protist. It is a producer that grows without any soil, thus it is often a pioneer species in a primary ecological succession. Also, lichens are one of few producers in the tundra.
Prokaryote
Oganisms that can photosynthesize or chemosynthesize are considered autotrophs. It means they can self feed themselves. These are plants that perform photosynthesis, green algae and some cyanobacteria (chemosynthesis)

lichen
The organism you are referring to is called a lichen. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either green algae or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide energy through photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
Cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, are bacteria that photosynthesize but do not have chloroplasts.
A lichen is a symbiotic partnership between a fungus and an alga. The algal partner photosynthesizes to provide food for the fungus, and the fungus in turn provides protection for the alga.
That is the correct spelling of "cyanobacteria" (blue-green algae).
blue green algae has been rename to cyanobacteria because scientists thought that blue green algae is too hard to say
Cyanobacteria > Red Algae > Green Algae > Land Plants
The common name of cyanobacteria is blue- green algae.
An autotroph is a organism that produces complex organic compounds from a simple substance. Three that can be found in an estuary are green algae, red algae and cyanobacteria.
Cyanobacteria, which are sometimes incorrectly called blue-green algae, were the first organisms to add oxygen to early Earth. Blue-green algae are eukaryotes while cyanobacteria are the much earlier prokaryotes.
