Lichens are the most amazing forms of life. A lichen is a plant composed of two distinct organisms known as algae and fungi, which live and work together.
The algae contain chlorophyll and make their own food. The fungi share the food made by algae. The fungi, in return, provide protection, water and minerals to the algae.
