Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacterium.
Te algal component of lichen is called phycobiont whereas mycobiont is the fungal component of lichen.
In lichen, algae or cyanobacteria prepare food due to the presence of chlorophyll in it whereas fungi provide shelter to algae and absorb food prepared by algae
