Question

What are the importance features of fungi​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fungi are heterotrophic: they use complex organic compounds as sources of energy and carbon, not photosynthesis. Fungi multiply either asexually, sexually, or both. The majority of fungi produce spores, which are defined as haploid cells that can undergo mitosis to form multicellular, haploid individuals.

Answer 2

Together with bacteria, fungi are responsible for breaking down organic matter and releasing carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus into the soil and the atmosphere. Fungi are essential to many household and industrial processes, notably the making of bread, wine, beer, and certain cheeses.
