In lichens (blue-green algae) the algae benefit their fungal partner by producing carbon compounds through photosynthesis and the fungal partner in return provides protection and also gather nutrients and moisture from environment ..this relationship between algae and fungi is known as symbiotic relationship in which both are mutually benefited.

It is a mutual relationship in which both the organisms are interdependent on each other. In lichens, algae is an autotroph while fungus is an saprophyte. Water and minerals are supplied by the fungus to algae and using them algae makes food with the process of photosynthesis and supplies food to fungus......
