Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query

The symbiotic organisms that are very good pollution indicators and composed of a chlorophyllous and non-chlorophyllous member are called Lichens.
Lichens are the organisms that are formed by the symbiotic association of the fungus and algae. The algae produces food for fungi and itself whereas fungi helps in attachment and absorption of nutrients from substrate. They are slow-growing and typically form the low crust-like or leaf-like branching growth on rocks, walls and trees.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the Lichens.
