Definitionally speaking, if something is a plant, it cannot have a fungal component since fungi are not plants.
However, a lichen is often considered by laymen to be a plant (even though it is actually a symbiotic relationship of two or more organisms). A lichen is the most common example of algae and fungi working together.

Is algae fungus like?
no fungi grows on you and alge grows in the water Actually, I disagree with the above answer, so I'm improving. They do have similarities. Both fungi and algae prefer to live in moist environments. Both can range in size from a single-celled organism to much larger, multi-celled organisms. Both have haploid nuclei (only one chromosome instead of two).
Is algae in the fungi domain?
neither. algae, bacteria and fungi are all separate groups of classification
Why fungi and algae both known as unicellular and multicellular?
I'm not sure about algae, but some fungi can become multicellular through budding
Do plant and fungi both have a nucleus?
Yes
How are fungus and lichen different from each other?
Both lichen and mycorrhizae are symbiotic partnerships between two different living things. Lichens are partnerships between fungi and different types of algae. The fungi partner supplies the water and nutrients and the algal partner produces sugar, oxygen and can fix nitrogen. The photosynthetic partner algae may be a bacteria such as cyanobacteria or blue green algae, or a plant such as green algae. They are usually classed as members of the fungi kingdom. Mycorrhizae are the fungus root partnership that develops in almost all plants both vascular and non vascular. It refers to the mycorrhizal fungus and the plant root once they have linked. There are about 5 or 6 thousand known types of mycorrhizal fungi which form fungus root or mycorrhizae with 95% of all plants. Some mycorrhizal fungi include ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) and Phycobionts (Chlorophyceae ond myxophyceae).
What is the relationship between a lichens fungi and algae?
Algae performs photosynthesis to make food for both of them. Fungi absorbs nutrients for both of them. mutualism (both benefit).

Is it true that Algae and fungi can not photosynthesize because both are animals?
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms- they can't synthesize their own food. Algae do perform photosynthesis thus making them autotrophic. Fungi and algae are not animals.
What is symbiotic behavior?
The behavior in which both the organisms get benifit from eachothers... The example of symbiotic behavior is "LICHENS" in which both algae n fungi get benifits from each others... algae gives food to the fungi n fungi provide them protections against the drastic environment.........
Do plant and fungi both have a nucleus?
Yes
What two organisms form a lichen?
Lichens are composed of a fungus in symbiotic union with an alga and having a greenish, gray, yellow, brown, or blackish thallus that grows in leaf like, crust like, or branching forms on rocks, trees, etc.
How is a lichen different from a plant or animal?
A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyan bacteria. Symbiotic means any two life form that can only exist with the two life forms are together. There are many examples of this in the plant world, where a plant only have one pollinator and the pollinator only feeds on that plant. Like all fungi, lichen fungi require carbon as a food source; this is provided by their symbiotic algae and/or cyan bacteria, that are photosynthetic. The lichen symbiosis is thought to be a mutualism, since both the fungi and the photosynthetic partners, called photobionts, benefit.
How are plant cells like fungi cells?
they both have a nucleus

Cells with a well defined cell wall are called what?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells can have a cell wall. Cell walls are found in plant cells, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea. However, animal cells and protozoa do not have cell walls.
