Did you know that the largest living thing on planet Earth is a fungus? It lives in Oregon and is about 3.5 MILES across!Which of the following is the outstanding characteristic of the Kingdom Fungi?
I say B.
B is the correct answer, which is what makes fungi so cool - they secrete enzymes outside their cells that dissolve organic matter (essentially digest it outside their cells) and then absorb the already digested nutrients. It sounds kind of gross, but if you were stuck in one place forever with no chlorphyll for making food, its a pretty creative way of surviving.
