Fungi is a plant that can't make its own food, it relies on rotting things to get food and nutriants from.

LIKE OMG do your own research.
Fungi are decomposers that sometimes reproduce using spores. There are many different types, like mushrooms.
Fungi is the the plural of fungus. SO your question should read "what are fungi".

A fungi is NOT a plant. It's in a whole different kingdom that includes yeast, mushrooms, and molds, lichens, etc. They are eukaryotic organisms that do not undergo photosynthesis like plants do. They decompose organic material and get their nutrients that way.

Fungus is some kind of eukaryotic organism that breaks down organic matter for energy, carbon and nutrients. They are different from plants in that their cells have chitinous walls instead of cellulose. They often reproduce asexually or sexually via the release of spores. Um, I guess that's kind of the basics, you could look it up further in Wikipedia under mycology.
