Solution:
The association between fungi and algae in lichen is regarded as the true mutual relationship, in which both the partners are benefitted. In lichen, fungus lives on the algae which manufactures food by virtue of the chlorophyll present in its cells, while the algae enjoys the protection afforded by the fungal envelope, to live in very dry conditions.
