Question

lichen n.地衣；青苔 (1) 北美驯鹿的主要食物是地衣、苔藓和绿色植物。(2) 那石级长满了地衣。(3) 岩石上长满了青苔。(4) 青苔是生长在石头和树木表面的主要生物。 The word lichen appeared around 1600, and was drawn from the Greek leikhēn, meaning "what eats around itself." This is a good meaning for what the word represents, as lichen is comprised of fungus cells that literally surround the algae cells to form a mutualistic bond. Because of the crusty look of a lichen, the name has also been given to a number of skin diseases that present the same patchy look as the fungus-algae.
