Question

why are deutromycota called fungi ​

Answer 1

Deuteromycota: The Imperfect Fungi

Imperfect fungi—those that do not display a sexual phase—are classified in the form phylum Deuteromycota. Deuteromycota is a polyphyletic group where many species are more closely related to organisms in other phyla than to each other; hence it cannot be called a true phylum and must, instead, be given the name form phylum. Since they do not possess the sexual structures that are used to classify other fungi, they are less well described in comparison to other divisions. Most members live on land, with a few aquatic exceptions. They form visible mycelia with a fuzzy appearance and are commonly known as mold. Molecular analysis shows that the closest group to the deuteromycetes is the ascomycetes. In fact, some species, such as some Aspergillus, which were once classified as imperfect fungi, are now classified as ascomycetes.
