Answer:

Fungi is an example of parasite.

Therefore, option (i) is correct.

Explanation:

  • A parasite is a plant or an animal that lives on, or with, or inside a larger species extracting nutrients.
  • In some cases, the parasite can harm the host or it can be completely harmless.
  • There are mainly three types of parasites:-
  1. Ectoparasites
  2. Endoparasites
  3. Meso Parasites  

Parasitism is the relationship between two species. An organism lives on or within the body which is called the parasite and other organism is called the host.

Fungi is a parasite. They feed off a living host. They invade a living host and obtain nourishment and often causing damage to its structure and  function.

  • Parasitic fungi that live on animals are known as zoo-pathogenic fungi. These fungi cause several diseases such as epidermophytosis, ringworm, favus, and tinea versicolor.
  • Parasitic fungi that live on plants are known as phytopathogenic fungi. These fungi feed on other fungi.  This form of behavior is called Mycoparasitism.
