Answer 2

Algae are also found in association with Fungi.

• The symbiotic relationship of algae and fungi is generally represented by the lichens.

• In adequately providing a physical structure to shelter the algae from excess sunlight and, in particular, water loss, the fungus also plays a vital role.
