Solution

Dear student

Vegetative phase is the period of growth of the of fungus to reach the reproductive maturity. In case of unicellular fungi, the reproductive phase consists of single globose cell. However, in filamentous fungi, the vegetative phase involves the development of branched, septate or aseptate, walled filaments called hyphae. These hyphae grow and reach sexual maturity and produce sexual spores to develop new fungi.
