Answer 2

The mutual relationship between fungus and algae in Lichens is known as symbiosis relationship.

Explanation:

In Symbiosis relationship the blue or green algae live among the filaments of the fungus where it forms lichens. They both help each other. Algae provide the necessary organic carbon compounds during photosynthesis which is a food for fungus and fungus in return protect it from the environment through its filaments. It also collects moisture and nutrients from the environment. Just like an anchor in a ship, fungus acts as an anchor to algae.
