Sac fungi, or Ascomycetes, are important for several reasons. They play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers, breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients. Additionally, many species have significant economic value, contributing to food production (like yeast and truffles), pharmaceuticals (such as penicillin), and biotechnology. Their diverse forms and functions also make them key players in research and environmental monitoring.
