A diagrammatic depiction of a lichen thallus showing tangled fungal hyphae interwoven with green algal cells. At the biological hierarchy level, unicellular photobionts are embedded within the mycobiont tissue, forming the composite organism’s thallus attached to a solid substrate. In mycology and phycology (lichenology), this symbiosis enables photosynthesis, fixing CO2 (carbon dioxide) and releasing O2 (oxygen), while the fungus provides structural support, water retention, and mineral uptake. The illustrated entities include cells and hyphae within an organismal structure.
