The organism is multicellular, with a filamentous form and absorbs food from its environment, which are characteristics of fungi. The presence of nuclei in its cells also points towards it being a eukaryotic organism, which rules out domain Bacteria. The organism does not exhibit clear animal or plant-like characteristics, so kingdoms Animalia and Plantae are not suitable classifications. Kingdom Protista is a catch-all for eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into other kingdoms, but the filamentous, multicellular nature of this organism suggests a more specific classification within the kingdom Fungi.
