Water molds, or oomycetes, can be both harmful and useful. Some species, like those causing the Irish Potato Famine (Phytophthora infestans), are detrimental to agriculture and ecosystems. However, others play beneficial roles in decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients in aquatic environments. Additionally, certain water molds are studied for their potential in biocontrol and bio-remediation applications.

Which characteristic is not seen in both water molds and slime molds?
One characteristic not seen in both water molds and slime molds is the presence of true multicellularity. Water molds (oomycetes) are primarily unicellular or form simple filaments, while slime molds can exhibit complex multicellular structures during their life cycle, such as the plasmodium stage.
