They convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Lichen is not a mold; it is a symbiotic combination of fungus and algae or cyanobacteria. It forms a unique organism where the fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis to produce food.
Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are the primary organisms that contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that helps these organisms photosynthesize, converting sunlight into energy for growth and survival.
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)
The main photoautotrophs in aquatic environments are phytoplankton, including diatoms and cyanobacteria. These organisms utilize sunlight to produce their own food through photosynthesis and form the base of the aquatic food chain.

The sun and energy made by autotrophs (usually plants but also cyanobacteria and algae)
Some like cyanobacteria (green algae) produce their food via photosynthesis. Others through fermentation.
Green algae, cyanobacteria, aquatic plants (e.g. water hyacinth)
These bacteria are called cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. They use photosynthesis to produce their own food, generating oxygen as a byproduct. This process is similar to that of plants.
The food chain goes Producer > Primary > Secondary > Tertiary Primary consumers eat producers, which are organisms that use photosynthesis to produce energy. Do not let people tell you that only plants go through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria and algae do as well. And no, algae is not a plant.

Photosynthesis, taking in sunlight and CO2 and water.
Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. The fungi provide a structure and protection for the algae or cyanobacteria, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide food through photosynthesis. This interdependence allows lichens to thrive in a wide range of environments.
