Answer 2

Process of the alga and fungus:

This type of relationship is known as mutualistic relation, meaning both host and the parasite are helpful to each other. In this case, the fungi give the plant water and minerals from decomposing external elements, whereas the plant provides foods or nutrients by photosynthesis to the fungi as the fungi are incapable of producing food for themselves.

The most common example of fungi that acts as a mutualistic parasite is lichen, which helps in providing the trees with nutrients and water sources in terms of water droplets.
