Question

why do lichens show Symbiosis

Answer 1

Symbiosis in lichens is the mutually helpful symbiotic relationship of green algae and/or blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) living among filaments of a fungus, forming lichen.

A lichen is an organism that results from a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism. The other organism is usually a cyanobacterium or green alga. The fungus grows around the bacterial or algal cells. The fungus benefits from the constant supply of food produced by the photosynthesizer

The algal and/or cyanobacterial partner(s) possess the green pigment chlorophyll, enabling them to use sunlight's energy to make their own food from water and carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. They also provide vitamins to the fungus.
