👉 Friggarchaeota are a type of microbe found in the fossil record, consisting of single-celled organisms that resemble bacteria but have a more complex cell structure and genetic organization. They are characterized by their large size, which allows them to be easily preserved in fossilized remains or other forms of material. Fungi are also known for their ability to colonize previously dead plant material and grow on the surfaces of decaying organic matter, forming communities that can persist even after decomposing.
