Fungi lack chlorophyll,than why they considered evolutionary more advance than algae?..

Answer / Sanjay

Fungi and algae are separate kingdoms with distinct evolutionary paths. Fungi do not have chlorophyll because they do not carry out photosynthesis to produce their own food; instead, they obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter or forming symbiotic relationships with plants (mycorrhizae). Algae, on the other hand, can perform photosynthesis and are capable of producing their own food using sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and minerals. However, evolutionary advancement is not determined by the presence or absence of chlorophyll but rather by various factors such as complexity, adaptability, and diversity over time. Fungi have evolved to play crucial roles in ecological processes such as nutrient cycling and soil health.
