#11: Fungi Kingdom
For a very long time, fungi were classified as plants. However, they are very
different from plants and belong to their own kingdom. Fungi do not have
chlorophyll and do not photosynthesise.
They feed saprophytically, or parasitically, on organic material like faeces,
human foods and dead plants or animals.
