Question

Do Fungi have cilia?

Answer 1

Cilia in fungi:

Cilia:

The cilium, plural cilia, is a small eyelash-like filament found on the tissue cells of most mammals and used by protozoa for motility.

Fungi:

The majority of fungi are decomposers that obtain nutrients from dead or decomposing organic materials (usually plants).

1. Fungi are immobile organisms. They are saprophytes, which means they live off the ground.
2. They eat organic matter that is dead or decaying and the majority of their body is made up of thread-like hyphae that attach to the substrate and absorb nutrition.
3. Fungi are non-motile organisms, thus they do not require cilia or flagella to move around.

So, Fungi do not have cilia.
