Answer:
Kingdom Fungi
Explanation:
Based on certain characteristics possessed by living organisms, they have been classified into five different kingdoms namely; plantae, animalia, monera, protista and fungi. Organisms with similar characteristics have been placed under the same kingdom.
Kingdom Fungi is a kingdom that contains organisms that possess characteristics different from plants and animals. Some of these features are those possessed by the unclassified organism found in the rainforest and they are as follows:
- They are eukaryotic (possess a true nucleus) and multicellular (have more than one cell).
- Their cell wall is made of chitin (a carbohydrate)
- They are made of multiple thread-like structures called HYPHAE.
Based on these mentioned characteristics above, the scientist should classify this organism as belonging to the kingdom FUNGI.
