One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose. Fungus doesn't need sunlight to grow unlike plants so fungus doesn't have chloroplast which is the main reason why most plants have leaves, which are essentially solar panels which produce glucose.

How are fungi plants different from plants?

Fungi do not use photosynthesis. Also, fungi don't have leaves and roots. Finally, unlike plants, the cell walls of fungi contain chitin.Fungi and plants are in the same domain (Eukarya), but are separate kingdoms. Plants are autotrophs (they make their own food through chemosynthesis or photosynthesis), while fungi are heterotrophs (more specifically they are either parasites or saprobes). Other differences are also present in structure (for example, fungi cell walls are made of chitin while plants' cell walls are made of cellulose), specialization, etc.

Fungi and plants are different because fungi are not?

The fungi (singular, fungus) once were considered to be plants because they grow out of the soil and have rigid cell walls. Now they are placed independently in their own kingdom of equal rank with the animals and plants and, in fact, are more closely related to animals than to plants. I hope I helped! 😁
