Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Any of the over 144,000 species of fungi, which also includes yeasts, rusts, slime molds, mildews, and mushrooms.

Additionally, there are several fungus-like species that do not actually belong to the kingdom of Fungi but are frequently referred to as fungi, such as slime molds and oomycetes (water molds).

Eukaryotic, non-vascular, immobile, heterotrophic creatures are fungi. They might be filamentous or unicellular.

They spread spores to reproduce. The phenomenon of generational alternation is seen in fungi.

Since fungi lack chlorophyll, they are unable to carry out photosynthesis.
