Answer:
no
Explanation:
They used to be considered plants, but as time and knowledge grew it was realized that fungi were a unique “in betweener” to both plants and animals and they were given their own separate kingdom. They grow out of the soil and have rigid cell walls like plants. But like animals, they have chitin in their cell walls, instead of lignin, and store reserve food as glycogen (Chitin is the polysaccharide that gives hardness to the external skeletons of lobsters and insects). Also like animals, they lack chlorophyll and are heterotrophic, releasing digestive enzymes into their surroundings and absorbing nutrients back. Familiar representatives include the edible mushrooms, molds, mildews, yeasts, and the plant pathogens, smuts and rusts.
