Definitionally speaking, if something is a plant, it cannot have a fungal component since fungi are not plants.

However, a lichen is often considered by laymen to be a plant (even though it is actually a symbiotic relationship of two or more organisms). A lichen is the most common example of algae and fungi working together.

What is mycorrhizal association?

Mycorrhizal association is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots. The fungi help enhance the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the soil, while the plant provides the fungi with sugars produced through photosynthesis. This relationship is beneficial for both the fungi and the plant.


How do fungi bacteria and algae differ from each other?

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that have diverse metabolic capabilities, and algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Fungi reproduce through spores, bacteria through binary fission, and algae through both sexual and asexual reproduction.
