Flagellum | Long, thin whiplike structure that helps organisms move through moist or wet surroundings. |
Hyphae | Mass of many-celled, threadlike tubes forming the body of a fungus. |
Lichen | Organism made up of a fungus and a green alga or a cyanobacterium. |
Mycorrhizae | Network of hyphae and plant roots that helps plants absorb water and minerals from soil. |
Protist | One- or many-called eukaryotic organism that can be plantlike, animal-like,or funguslike. |
Protozoan | One-celled,animal-like protist that can live in water,soil and living and dead organisms. |
Pseudopods | Temporary cytoplasmic extensions used by some protists to move about and trap food. |

Sporangium | Round spore case of a zygote fungus. |
Spore | Waterproof reproductive cell of a fungus that can grow into a new organism; in plants, haploid cells produced in the gametophyte stage that can divide by mitosis to form plant structures or an entire new plant or can develop into sex cells. |
