Answer:
Lichen
Explanation:
Lichens are the symbiotic association between algae and fungi. The algal cells, through the process of photosynthesis, provide the fungus with some of the organic nutrients which it needs. The fungus also plays a vital role in providing a physical structure to shelter the algae from excess sunlight and in particular, water loss.
So, the correct answer is 'Lichen'
