During a woodland survey, fungi are placed in one of three categories: found on wood, found on soil or found on fallen leaves.
Which is an advantage of using these categories compared with a natural classification?
The categories are based on evidence from many characteristics, including cell structure.
The categories show the order in which the different groups of fungi evolved.
A fungus can be placed in a category quickly using a feature that is easy to observe.
The categories place the most closely related fungi together in the same group.
