fungi can't make their own food, so they are not considered either an animal or a plant thats why they have their own kingdom.

Why do some scientists classify fungi as plants and other scientists classify them as animals?

Some scientists classify fungi as plants because they share certain characteristics like cell walls and non-motility. Other scientists classify fungi as animals due to their heterotrophic nature, similar to animals, and their ability to store energy as glycogen, like animals do. Ultimately, fungi are placed in their own kingdom, separate from plants and animals, due to their unique characteristics.


What are fungi that do not fit into other standard groups of fungi called?

The first group of fungi is called Division Zygomycota. The second group is Division Ascomycota, or sac fungi, and the third group is Division Basidiomycota. The fungi that do not fit in to any of these groups are put in to the "junk drawer" of fungi. This group is called Division Deuteromycota, or "imperfect fungi". All fungi are classified based on the structure in which their spores are produced, but in this "imperfect" group, scientists have never observed their spores being produced. Because of this, they cannot classify them in to any other group.

Why do algae and fungi have their own kingdoms?

Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms. Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells. Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria. So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
