Fungi are like plants because they don't move like plants. Because of this early scientists have classified fungi into same category as plants.

Fungi are like animals because they are heterotrophic. They cannot produce their own food. One plant that moves like an animal is the TickleMe Plant. The leaves of the TickleMe Plant fold up and the branches droop when Tickled and it can be grown as a pet indoors.
