Description
Wikipedia says: Lichen is a composite organism that emerges from algae, cyanobacteria or both living among filaments of a fungus in a mutually beneficial relationship. Lichens come in many colors, sizes, and forms. The properties are sometimes plant like, but lichens are not plants. Lichens don't have roots that absorb water and nutrients like in plants. Instead they produce their own food from sunlight, air, water, and minerals in their environment. They are not parasites on the plants they may grow on, but only use them as a substrate to grow on.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.
