A lichen, or lichenized fungus, is actually two organisms functioning as a single, stable unit. Lichens comprise a fungus living in a symbiotic relationship with an alga or cyanobacterium (or both in some instances). There are about 17,000 species of lichen worldwide.

Answer:

algae

Explanation:

this is known as symbiotic relationship. fungi obtain carbohydrates from the algae, which are photosynthetic and contribute the green colour to lichen. In return, the fungi help the algae to grow in harsh conditions
