Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -But for fungi to exist, a minimum of a single cell is required. For example-Yeast is a single-celled fungus. Therefore any organism must possess a single cell to exist. Apart from that they can have multiple cells and can be multicellular.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Fungi? Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that include microorganisms such as yeasts, moulds and mushrooms. These organisms are classified under kingdom fungi. The organisms found in Kingdom fungi contain a cell wall and are omnipresent. They are classified as heterotrophs among the living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -A typical fungus consists of a mass of branched, tubular filaments enclosed by a rigid cell wall. The filaments, called hyphae (singular hypha), branch repeatedly into a complicated, radially expanding network called the mycelium, which makes up the thallus, or undifferentiated body, of the typical fungus.
