Answer 2

Answer:

The relationship between alga and fungus in lichens is known as symbiotic relationship. It is a mutual relationship in which both the organisms are interdependent on each other. In lichens, algae is an autotroph while fungus is an saprophyte. Water and minerals are supplied by the fungus to algae and using them algae makes food with the process of photosynthesis and supplies food to fungus. Hence, both "mutually benefit" each other.
