NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Molds include all species of microscopic fungi that grow in the form of multicellular filaments, called hyphae. Molds can thrive on any organic matter, including clothing, leather, paper, and the ceilings, walls and floors of homes with moisture management problems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are usually classified in four divisions: the Chytridiomycota (chytrids), Zygomycota (bread molds), Ascomycota (yeasts and sac fungi), and the Basidiomycota (club fungi). Placement into a division is based on the way in which the fungus reproduces sexually.

Detailed explanation-3: -A moss is neither a fungus, nor an algae. Rather, it is a plant under the division of Bryophyta in the kingdom of Plantae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyphae grow and extend outward from each germinating fungus spore (reproductive body) and penetrate into whatever nutrient material is available to them. As the hyphae multiply, they eventually form a filamentous mass or mat visible to the naked eye, and this is called a mycelium (pleural = mycelia).
