Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.

It creates analogous structures with similar form or function but these structures were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups.  

The filamentous body forms of slime molds, water molds and the hyphae of fungi  is considered a case of convergent evolution because the filaments shape is an adaptation for a nutritional mode as a decomposer.

It is because convergent evolution represents the independent evolution of similar features in species that don't have the same ancestor. In this case filamentous body forms evolved independently, but have the same function: an adaptation for a nutrition of decomposers.

These communities include primary producer organisms, but instead of obtaining energy from the sun, these bacteria use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and other chemicals in the water into energy. These bacteria support a wide range of other animal species, including giant tube worms, deep sea mussels, serpulid or “feather duster” worms, and vent crabs, the apex predator of the vent community.
