Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).

∙ 7y agoFungi are not classified as plants because Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning that unlike plants which are autotrophs, they feed on other life forms.
Actually Fungi is saprotrophic which means it secretes enzymes and then absorbs other organisms.
Because they are not plants.
Fungi don't photosynthesis, they don't have flowers, they don't produce seeds etc

How are Plantae different from fungi?
Plantae are multicellular organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, using chlorophyll and sunlight. Fungi, on the other hand, are simpler organisms that rely on external food sources and reproduce by producing spores. Additionally, fungi have cell walls made of chitin, while plants have cell walls made of cellulose.
