Fungi are like plants because they don't move like plants. Because of this early scientists have classified fungi into same category as plants.

Fungi are like animals because they are heterotrophic. They cannot produce their own food. One plant that moves like an animal is the TickleMe Plant. The leaves of the TickleMe Plant fold up and the branches droop when Tickled and it can be grown as a pet indoors.

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.

Why is fungi not a animal?

Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi). Animals do not have a cell wall at all. As well, animals are motile whereas most fungi are not (chytrids produce a motile spore). Animals ingest their food while fungi grow into their food. Fungi can produce lysine, and animals cannot.
