The answer to this question would be: False

The symbiotic between plant and fungus is called lichen. In this case, the Mycorrhizae having a mutualism symbiotic with algae as they are giving benefit to each other. The Mycorrhizae will give water and inorganic compound and the algae will give food. The answer is false because the algae are not parasitic to the fungi.
