Question Question 4
Write one characteristic feature of Kingdom Fungi. Why are they not a part of Kingdom Plantae?
One characteristic feature of kingdom fungi is that they are unicellular as well as multicellular and heterotrophs (either parasite or saprophyte).
Fungi are not a part of Kingdom Plantae because they are heterotrophs and plants are autotrophs. They do not have chloroplast and thus they cannot produce their own food.
