Verified by ExpertsD
Lichens are symbiotic associations between a photosynthetic partner (the phycobiont), which is autotrophic (algae or cyanobacteria), and a fungus (the mycobiont), which is heterotrophic. The algal partner produces food through photosynthesis, while the fungal partner provides shelter and absorbs water and minerals.
Autotrophic component: Algae (Eukaryotic) or Cyanobacteria (Prokaryotic).
Heterotrophic component: Fungus (Eukaryotic).
