A) chytrids
B) glomeromycetes
C) zygote fungi
D) sac fungi
E) club fungi

Flagellated Spores

Spores that are equipped with flagella (tail-like structures), allowing them to swim in a moist environment, commonly found in certain fungi and algae.

Aquatic Decomposition

The breakdown of organic matter in water environments by microorganisms and enzymes.

Chytrids

Fungi with flagellated spores.
