No. The alga and the fungus that make up a particular lichen exist in a true symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other. Generally, the fungi absorb water that passes on to the algae to be used in photosynthesis to create a carbohydrate food for both. So both organisms benefit from the relationship.

What kingdom does lichen belong to?
Lichen belongs to two kingdoms. Fungi - Lichen digests food outside of the organism. Protista - Lichen is a one celled organism with a nucleus. Because scientists have discovered the duel traits of the organism, they have decided to classify Lichen into two groups respecting the similar traits exhibited through two kingdoms. In other words, Lichen has no kingdom of its own. It is placed in the Fungi and Protista Kingdoms. Remeber, Dizzy Kangaroos Picnic Commonly On Green Soap.
