Type of lichen which tightly attaches to rocks is_____________?

Correct answer: D. Crustose

  • A. Parmelia
  • B. Fruticose
  • C. Foliose
  • D. Crustose

Explanation

Crustose lichens form a thin crust that is tightly attached to rocks and is difficult to remove without damaging the substrate. Foliose lichens are leaf-like and loosely attached, while fruticose lichens are branched, so students may choose c if they confuse a flat shape with tight attachment.
