Expert Solution
Step 1

Ascomycetes are a type of fungi, the fungi associates with the algae to form a symbiotic relationship called as lichen.

In this type of relationship both the organisms are beneficial from each other, In Lichen, the algae beingj photosynthetic produces sugar and other nitrogenous substances for it's growth and it provides a little part of it to the fungi.

On the other hand the fungi has a dense network of hypae which is capable of absorbing water easily.

The fungi absorbs water and provides some of it to algae which helps the algae in photosynthesis and other important process.

Thus both the organism are beneficial in this relationship, this phenomenon is called as symbiosis.
