Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the absence of chlorophyll, fungi are unable to make their food by photosynthesis. They feed on the dead and decaying remains of other organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are so “weird” that they are in a Kingdom all by themselves. They have characteristics of plants but are extremely different. They do not photosynthesize and make their own food, instead, they are decomposers, living off of dead and decaying matter such as wood, leaves, and dung.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi are heterotrophic. Fungi are not able to ingest their food like animals do, nor can they manufacture their own food the way plants do. Instead, fungi feed by absorption of nutrients from the environment around them. They accomplish this by growing through and within the substrate on which they are feeding.
