What is phycobiont and mycobiont?
A phycobiont is a photosynthetic organism, often a type of algae, that forms a symbiotic relationship with a fungus in lichens. A mycobiont is the fungal partner in the lichen symbiosis that provides structural support and absorbs water and nutrients for the partnership.

What term is coined for the algal component of lichen?
Fungalcomponentis known as mycobiont andalgae componentis called phycobiont.
How do algae and fungus help lichen survive?
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.
Is a lichen a parasite?
Mutualism is a symbioses where both partners (symbionts) gain fitness (+/+). Fitness is the success of reproduction of an organism with 1 = breeding and 0 = not breeding. The symbionts that constitute Lichens are a fungus (mycobiont) and alga (photobiont). The association has allowed the lichen fungi and lichen alga to thrive in areas neither could survive in alone and successfully avoid competition. Specifically the fungus gains energy from the photobiont and the alga gains protection from radiation and desiccation which prevents drying out and may be able to obtain salts from the mycobiont. As both smbionts have gained the relationship is considered to be mutualistic. However, it could be argued that the relationship is controlled parasitic as the photobiont is 'incarcerated' by the mycobiont and not a partner.
