Explanation

The true fungi or the eumycetes are special types of achlorophyllous thallophytic organisms living as parasitic or a saprophytic mode of existence. They are always heterophytes and never autophytes. They depend on others for food, but all other groups as algae, bryophytes and pteridophytes are chlorophyll containing green plants that are autotrophic.
