The relationship in which two different organisnms live together in such a way that they
benefit each other in some way is called the symbiosis e.g.lichens.
In lichens chlorophyll containing partner which is an alga and a fungus live together. The
fungus gives shelter, water and minerals to the alga and in return, the alga gives food
prepared by photosynthesis.
They have chlorophyll (green pigment) which captures the energy of sunlight.
Leaves consist of tiny pores called stomata on their surface.
Carbon dioxide from air is taken in through stomata.
Water and minerals are absorbed by the roots from the soil and transported to the leaves
by vessels.
Thus, leaves are called the food factories of plants.
