Explanation

Chytrids are the only fungi with reproductive cells that have flagella, which let the cells move through water. They are commonly found in wet places, such as soil or water. Sac-shaped spores are associated with ascomycetes, and club-shaped structures with basidiomycetes, not chytrids.
