Solution

Fungi:

  1. The eukaryotic organisms that mainly depend on dead and decayed matter for their food source are known as fungi.
  2. The vegetative part is the thallus structure that does not involve in sexual reproduction and this reproduction involves only a single thallus.

Vegetative means of reproduction in fungi:

  1. Budding: The process where the bud arises from the parent's body and later detaches and forms into a new organism is known as budding.
  2. Fission: The process where the division of the parent body into two daughter cells is known as fission.
  3. Fragmentation: The process where mycelia break into fragments and each fragment grows into separate mycelium.
