Answer:
fungi
Step-by-step explanation:
Whittaker proposed moving the fungi from the kingdom plantae to a separate kingdom due to structural and metabolic differences. Unlike plants, fungi have a cell wall made up of chitin. The fungi have neither chloroplasts or chlorophyll. They feed on already manufactured food. They send hyphal threads into the food materials. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexually reproduction is by spores or budding as in yeast whereas sexual reproduction involves fusion of nuclei.
