plz mark my answer as brainliest.
Answer :-
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. Therefore they cannot produce food and must depend upon other living or dead things for food. They are heterotrophic and can be classified as saprophytes, parasites, symbionts.
They live as saprophytes getting their nourishment from the surroundings and play key role in nature by decomposing dead organisms and releasing their nutrients for reuse by the living. Some live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with another organism, often a plant. The association of fungus and plant root is called a mycorrhiza.
Some fungi are parasitic, causing serious damage to their host.
