Fungi have cells in a filamentous shape. What is purpose? To form haustoria and parasitize other organisms. To allow for sexual reproduction. To allow the invasion of aquatic habitats. To provide an extensive surface area well suited for absorption. Question 28 Among the organisms listed below, which is the closest relative to fungi? animals vascular plants mosses slime molds
