- Find the flaws fungi are multicellular organism not sure similarities with both plants and animals. The vegetative body of a fungus is called a mushroom.The hyphae are a tangle of slender thread like structures that makes up the vegetative stage of the fungus. A group of hyphae is called mycelium. Some fungi can damage plants and infect animals. Beneficial fungi like mycorrhizal fungi and lichen, form helpful relationships with the other organisms. plants can be broken into four main groups. Bryophytes like vascular tissue and do not make seeds fruits or flowers. Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not make seeds fruits or flowers. Angiosperms have a vascular tissue make naked seeds but do not make fruits or flowers. Gymnosperms have vascular tissue seeds fruits and flowers. animals are eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic organisms and just start food and usually develop into motile creatures with a fixed body plan. sponges are an early stage of animal…arrow_forwardThe fungi were once grouped with plants.
