•Fungi are eukaryotic, i.e. their cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. 
See prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells for more about what is meant by 'eukaryotic'.

•Fungi have cell walls* (plants also have cell walls, but animals have no cell walls).
*A difference between fungi and animals.

•Fungi cell walls are composed mainly of acarbohydrate called chitin*, while plant cell walls are composed mainly of cellulose. 
*A difference between fungi and plants.

•Fungi are achlorophyllous, which means they lack the chlorophyll pigments present in thechloroplasts in plant cells and which are necessary for photosynthesis. 
Fungi are therefore incapable of photosynthesis. 
*another difference between fungi and plants.

•The (carbohydrate) molecule used to store energy in fungi is glycogen.
Glycogen is also used to store energy in the muscle and liver cells of animals but plants have a different storage molecule, called starch. 
*another difference between fungi and plants.

•Fungi are heterotrophs, which means that they obtain nutrients by absorption.
(As also applies to other living things, including plants and animals, fungi need nutrients in order to live, grow and reproduce.)
Some fungi, called saprobiontic fungi, release enzymes that help to break-down dead organic matter into chemicals that the fungi can then absorb and process as a food source. Other fungi are parasitic, meaning that they obtain nutrients directly from other living things such as trees, or even people e.g. in the case of the fungus responsible forAthlete's Foot.

•Saprobiontic fungi are saprobiontic organisms, also called saprobionts. They digest their food externally and then absorb the products of that 'digestion'. To do this they form very thin threads called hyphae that enable the fungus to feed on organic matter, e.g. dead and decaying bodies of plants and animals. See how saprobiontic organisms feed.

Fungi was regarded sa plant as well as animal..
Plant like characters:
*Having cell wall
*Lacking centrioles
*Non motile
Animal like characters:
*They are heterotrophs (chloroplast is absent)
*Lack cellulose in their cell wall
*Fungi are different from all the other organisms.
