Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
Molds are not classified as plants because they belong to a different biological kingdom called Fungi. While they share some characteristics with plants, such as cell walls, they differ significantly in terms of nutrition and reproduction. Molds are heterotrophic organisms that feed on organic matter, while plants are autotrophic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
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. Additionally, water molds are classified as fungi-like protists that absorb nutrients from their environment, whereas slime molds can exhibit behaviors similar to amoebas, including movement and foraging.
A Slime Mould or Myxomycete is a fungi like organism that has the characteristics of both plants and animals. They are found in the tropics and the temperate zones. ple.platoweb.com
Some protists, like slime molds and water molds, can act similar to fungi in terms of their mode of nutrition and reproduction. They grow as multicellular structures and obtain nutrients through absorption. They may also release spores to reproduce.
rhizoids
Plants have molds because molds depend on them for foods. That's why molds have plants.

Rhizoids are structures that anchor bread mold to their food substrate . Rhizoids are type of hyphae for anchoring and absorption of digested food .
molds
The filamentous morphology of water molds is considered a case of convergent evolution with the hyphae of fungi because they both have evolved similar structures independently to increase their surface area for nutrient absorption and growth. Despite the similarities in appearance, water molds and fungi are not closely related but have evolved analogous structures through natural selection to better adapt to their respective environments.
The fruiting bodies in cellular slime molds serve as structures for spore formation and dispersal, allowing the organism to reproduce. Sporangia in cellular slime molds are specialized structures that contain spores, which are dispersed to new environments to colonize and continue the life cycle. Both structures are essential for the reproductive success of cellular slime molds.
Before the Fungi kingdom was created, mushrooms, yeasts, and molds were placed in the Plant kingdom. This classification was based on their stationary nature and similar reproductive structures to plants.
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
to eat plants
yes
Plants with protective structures include thorns on plants like roses and cacti that deter herbivores, spines on plants like succulents for defense against predators, and hairs on leaves that can reduce water loss and protect against herbivores. Other protective structures include tough outer layers like bark on trees that protect against physical damage and toxins in some plants that deter herbivores.
