Solution
Lichen branched in fruticose:
The lichen in fruticose is branching like a bush and attached to the substrate by a disc.
Fruticose lichens are well-branched shrub-like lichens with a pendulous and upright arrangement.
A discoid structure anchors them to the substratum.
The thallus of a plant can be classified as prostrate, leafy, or lobed.
