Some types of algae can grow together with fungi. The fungi provide nutrients from decaying matter to the algae, while the energy the algae get from sunlight is shared with the fungi.

Based on the information provided, the relationship between the algae and fungi can be described as a mutualistic relationship.
To obtain this answer, we can break down the information and understand the nature of the interaction between the two organisms. We know that the fungi provide nutrients from decaying matter to the algae, while the algae share the energy they acquire from sunlight with the fungi. This suggests that both organisms benefit from each other's presence.
In a mutualistic relationship, two organisms interact in a way that benefits both parties involved. In this case, the fungi receive nutrients from the decaying matter, which they may not have been able to access otherwise. Meanwhile, the algae need nutrients which they obtain from the fungi and rely on sunlight for energy, which they share with the fungi. Therefore, both organisms benefit from this exchange, making it a mutualistic relationship.
