Answer:

yea

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, the organisms that form lichens make acids that slowly dissolve the rock on which they grow, which makes tiny crevices in the rocks. ... Mosses send their hair-like structures into the crevices the lichens made in order to anchor themselves on the rock. Then the mosses grow bigger.
