Explanation:

• Lichens are formed from a combination of fungal partners and algal partners. This type of relationship is referred to as symbiosis.
• The green algae are the component of lichens. They are known as phycobionts. Most of them are Chlorophyceae and a few of them are Cyanophyceae.
• The fungal partner is mycobiont and they are mostly Ascomycetes. They provide shelter to algae.
