Detailed explanation-1: -Rhizopus fungi are characterized by a body of branching mycelia composed of three types of hyphae: stolons, rhizoids, and usually unbranching sporangiophores.

Detailed explanation-2: -In most fungi, hyphae are the main mode of vegetative growth, and are collectively called a mycelium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyphae are the structures that allow fungi to grow and feed, and they can also form specialized structures necessary for the fungus to survive or capture prey. The mushrooms we are used to seeing have hyphae that grow under the ground in large, intricate networks of filaments, called the mycelium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi: More on Morphology Like plants and animals, fungi are eukaryotic multicellular organisms. Unlike these other groups, however, fungi are composed of filaments called hyphae; their cells are long and thread-like and connected end-to-end, as you can see in the picture below.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants and fungi also both are non-mobile as adults, though the seeds of plants and spores of fungi can travel great distances. Fungi have rootlike structures called hyphae as well – though this similarity isn’t at the cellular level.
