Lichens are hard to classify because they are complex symbiotic organisms composed of a fungus and one or more photosynthetic partners, typically algae or cyanobacteria. This intricate relationship can vary significantly among different lichen types, leading to challenges in identifying and categorizing them based on traditional taxonomic methods. Additionally, their morphological diversity and ability to adapt to various environments further complicate classification efforts. Thus, molecular techniques are increasingly used to clarify their taxonomy and evolutionary relationships.

Why is it hard to classify extict animals?

I believe that it is hard to classify animals to be extinct, because then you have to basically check the entire world to see if there is even one animal of that kind left. Even if there is even one animal of that kind left, it's not extinct, just extremely endangered (and then it becomes extinct...)
