Answer 2

"Short twisted strands of hyphae which serve as anchors for lichen are B. rhizines.

Lichen is comprised of a top layer of firmly woven parasitic mycelia; beneath this is a layer of photosynthetic cells and underneath that another layer of the organism.

The base layer might be joined to the substrate or by methods for short bent strands of hyphae called as rhizines which act as the structure of Anchorage."
