A complex form of life that belongs to the plant kingdom and is formed from the association of algae and fungus are lichens.

The relation that the lichens represent is:

Mutualism

The relation can be explained as:

A symbiosis is a form of interaction that two organisms show by interacting with each other. A mutualism is a form of symbiosis.The two organisms in the relationship benefit from each other and show a positive kind of interaction is called mutualism.The relation involving algae and fungus also exhibits this kind of relation. The fungus provides water and nutrients to algae while algae in return provide food produced through photosynthesis to fungus.

Thus, lichens exhibit mutualism.

Answer from: Aleja9

Mutualism

Explanation:

Organisms in an ecosystem interact with one another from time to time. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is of different types depending on the how it affects the involved organisms. The example in this question depicts MUTUALISM.

Mutualism is the type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the relationship. This is the case of the LICHEN, which involves the Algae and Fungi. The algae benefits by making use of the water and minerals supplied by the fungi while the fungi benefits by using the food the algae produces via photosynthesis.
