Answer:

Plants use sunlight and water to get energy. Fungi eat decayed things.

Step-by-step explanation:

Also, they are different in two other important ways: 1) fungi cell walls are composed of chitin rather than cellulose (plants) and 2) fungi do not make their own food like plants do through photosynthesis. They are eukaryotic. They get their food by decomposing matter or eating off their hosts as parasites. Like I said above, they eat dead things.
