Fungi can be pathogenic to plants and animals due to their ability to produce specialized structures, such as spores and enzymes, that facilitate invasion and nutrient absorption from their hosts. They exploit plant and animal tissues for sustenance, often leading to cell damage and disease. Additionally, fungi can evade the host immune system through various mechanisms, making it difficult for the host to mount an effective defense. This pathogenicity can lead to significant agricultural losses and health issues in animals and humans.
